Thank you Misty for the ping.
Cacique...........thank you for this beautiful tribute.
I had just arrived at work when a co-worker ran in and said "a plane" had hit one of the towers. For most of us a small airplane first came to mind and we we were concerned for the pilot and any passengers. Then we put on the radio to see what had happened. When the second plane hit we knew..........this was no accident. This was deliberate. Some people were crying and others were silent. A few hours later we were all sent home........no work was ever going to be accomplished that day.
I was watching the news coverage..........numb, with horror and grief. All those people, all those poor people was all that I could say.
I knew one person who gave his life that day........Chief Peter Ganci. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him. I live on Long Island. Reminders are everywhere.........
Walking thru my living room yesterday........a TV show was on showing two people celebrating their engagement, at a pier on the Jersey side with the skyline behind them.........But the Towers were gone.
Going through old pictures for my daughters wedding.....finding pictures of trips we took.....finding pictures of the Towers. Remembering being in the Towers... Watching any news broadcast on any night, seeing a fireman or a policeman brings back Sept. 11th.
Driving on the Garden State Pkwy, and seeing flags on every overpass. Driving around town and seeing flags on cars. In almost every case, these are NEW flags, being replaced as they wear out.
We have not forgotten. We will never forget!
Thank you again for starting this thread.
God Bless all who lost their lives and their families. God Bless our President. God Bless the United States of America.
