I’m 49 and live in NYC.
Remember giving blood and then traveling to work for 5 hours two days later.
Remember not believing what I was seeing.
Remember losing fireman friends.
Remember Rudy being the only one to continually reassure and communicate with us.
Not a conservative, but a very good American.
Rest in peace.
Never forget!
I currently am living in Spain and the History Channel is running shows on actions by the USA pre and post 9/11. So far the Clinton administration is looking pretty bad by passing on opportunity after opportunity to take out Osama Bin Laden before the attack on the WTC.

The pain is still so deep. It always will be.

“Remember Rudy being the only one to continually reassure and communicate with us.

And of course, don’t we remember as a very strong contrast, Hillary being very obviously absent until a good time after the horrible events took place? Even though my Dad had been to New York City a few times for business purposes, I ended up being the only one in my family who had visited the World Trade Centre and went up to the top (indoor observation area) during a May 1989 visit there as a high school student.
That chilling line, "We were running down the stairs, while they were running up"
Got me in the feels, it did. Especially now that my son's a fireman.
Remembering them on this special day of Remembrance.
A moving reminder for those who perished on this day 16 years ago. We will never forget!!

Douglas MacMillan Cherry. My friend. My classmate. My teammate. A wonderful person who did not deserve that fate. Nor did his wife and three children.
Remembering my buddy Joe Spor, FDNY, this day:

Of blessed memory
— Dorothy Alma de Araujo — grandmother of my son’s best friend in High School - RIP
It was a terrible turn for the US
About a couple of months after the event, the alumni magazine for Bishop’s University (where I went to from 1989 to 1991) highlighted the poignant story of the wife of a Bishop’s alumnus who was a flight attendant aboard one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Centre. One story I’ve thought a lot about in the years since.
A personal friend. RIP SGM Strickland.
