Whether or not you should include them is one question.  It seems that
you've already decided that you should.  

How to implement them is what you're asking.  

"You Are Here" is not necessary if the trail clearly ends with the
page that you're currently on.  I recommend leaving it unlinked so
its clear that its your current location.

It serves 2 purposes:
1) Anchoring the rest of the breadcrumb and clarifying what it the
breadcrumb actually is.  (Otherwise could be mistaken for page
history, etc.)
2) Positioning the PAGE YOU'RE ON is within the greater site
hierarchy.  That's the basis of a hierarchical breadcrumb, but it
becomes a little convoluted if the page you're on is not included in
the hierarchy you show.
