            <text>I'd like to tell you about an incredible individual -- Mike Bellone -- one of the recovery worker volunteers at Ground Zero in New York.  I met him about a year after Sep 11.  He worked at Ground Zero every day for the entire 9 months the site was open.  He started the TRAC Team sometime that year and has a new book out describing his experience.  www.tracteam.org.  He's an amazing individual and his story, like many of the recovery workers needs to be told.  He is an true inspiration and someone that I had such admiration and respect.&#13;
&#13;
Here's a short clip &#13;

&#13;
Mike was selected by CBS because he worked at Ground Zero for 257 consecutive days from 9/11-6/12 (even thought the site officially closed May 30, there was additional recovery work).  It’s amazing what he and so many others did. For him to be in the company of these heroes is feat in of itself, along with the acknowledgement and recognition of his efforts!&#13;
