A special prayer for Patrick, the nephew of a very good friend. He's buried at Arlington.

Jriemer, thank you for the reminder that each of these people had a story and was loved. Prayers for their souls and prayers for their families.

Never forget.

Thanks for taking the time to post all who died that fateful day. May the Lord be with us in our continued war on terrorism and bless this administration and our soldiers.

Jriemer, Thanks for the ping. Tears are already flowing here.

I don’t have any pictures to share, but I’d like to recount that horrible day:

I was at work like most. I heard 2 people talking in the elevator asking questions like, “How many casualties to you think there are?” I asked what was going on and they told me a plane just hit the WTC. I thought it was an accident.

A software vendor arrived and I asked her what she thought about the plane hitting the WTC. She said, “Not one, two.” I knew at that point it was an attack but the magnitude of these events had still not dawned on me.

We were testing the software and her cell phone rang. She answered and started screaming “Oh my God” again and again. I asked what happened and she said the Pentagon had just been hit. That’s when the magnitude of the day hit me.

I spent the next hour or so in the break room with everyone else in the building watching the news. I watched in sheer horror as the WTC towers collapsed. A sense of disbelief came over me. “This isn’t happening” kept running through my mind. Very shaken, I left work.

I went home and turned on every TV in the house to a different news channel.

The strangest thing about that day was looking out my front door and watching this little boy play with his toy trucks. While my world was forever changed, his world had not been affected. I’ll never forget those few moments. Watching such innocence on the same day that such evil had just manifested itself was a surreal contrast that is burned into my mind forever. It seemed like a strange and twisted dream that I couldn’t wake up from. Somehow, watching that little kid gave me strength. I knew we would get though this.

While I lost no one close to me, others had lost a husband, a wife, a child, a friend. I will keep all the survivors in my prayers. I will read every name posted on this thread as well. I will never forget and I will never forgive those monsters or those that support them.

I will also continue to pray for our men and women in the armed forces. I will pray for their protection, courage, wisdom, and skill. God bless them for protecting our freedom. May we never take our freedom or their sacrifice for granted.

These are the most recent names of the American military heros who have given their all in the defense of their country. Their sacrifice has not been in vain.

May G_d rest their brave souls.

jriemer - God Bless You for doing this - it is truly a labor of love.

This is Margaret L. Benson of the Port Authority who died on September 11, 2001:

I have worn her name on my arm via a Mercy Band since January 2002. This is my reminder to pray for her and her family every day. To read her bio, go here:

Margaret L. Benson Tribute

***Never Forget....***

(((Meekie))) and (((MozartLover))) - thank you for the ping.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Thank you so much for posting all these names. We must never forget (as if we could.)

Sgt. Daniel K. Methvin, 22, Belton, Texas, July 16, 2003, Iraq.

Rest in peace, Daniel.

This is what Darryl Worley's song "Have You Forgotten?" is all about. This list should be shown repeatedly this week along with footage of the WTC under attack and the Pentagon and the field in PA. We have not forgotten the attacks and will always remember.

Christopher Vialonga, 30, Demarest, N.J., USA
foreign currency trader, Carr Futures
Confirmed dead, World Trade Center, at/in building

He was my cousin, Rest in Peace Christopher.

Thank you for the post

Thank you so much for all your hard work on this memorial thread. As painful as it still is, we must all remember, never forgetting the evil cowards who snuffed out so many innocent and wonderful lives.
