Good point Rob. We should also remember the survivors of the fallen too.

 

It was truly a sad day in our history......far exceeding the other sad day that I have witnessed in 1963.

"If God Blesses America and he is a just God, he will also bless the rest of the world as well. May blessings flow from the Gods of all people and let each co-exist peacefully."

 

I will never forget where I was the moment I learned of the first attack. Seat 3D on a United Airlines Boeing 767 at Dulles Airport headed to AZ via Denver. Fortunately, due to mechanical problems we never got off the ground. I can not help but wonder if I could have been on the fifth plane?

My oldest friend in the world that I have known since the age of five growing up in NYC is now a Lieutenant with the Fire Department in Punta Gorda, FL. In January of 2002 we visited with him and he was showing us a scrap book of photos that he had taken with one of his sons in NYC on the way back from visiting with his mother in CT. He had been through some training with a bunch of people from Engine Company #1 in lower Manhatten early in 2001. So he stopped in with his son to pay the "guys" a visit and has a group picture with him and his son posing in front of the fire house. It really struck me as personal when looking at the picture knowing that the only two people in the picture that are still alive is my friend Bob and his son Scott!

I will never forget.
