San Diego, September 12, 2011 - The Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) today announces the publication of a special 150-page four-volume digital issue featuring first-person accounts of responders who were thrust into the world spotlight the morning of September 11, 2001, when terrorists invaded their response districts and their lives and changed the way they, and most responders throughout the world, think, train, respond and live their lives.

Most responders say that they will only talk about 9/11 with others who were there that dayother members of the club.

Divorce rates have soared in some circles after 9/11. Heightman and McCallion offer reasons why this is occurring and offer suggestions to reduce the emotional damage on rescuers and their families in the
