On HBO tonight:

"IN MEMORIAM: NEW YORK CITY, 9/11/01"

at 9 PM

With the Honorable Rudolph W. Giuliani and his staff as guides, and drawing from still photographs and video footage of more than 100 New Yorkers, the film presents a panoramic and unique historical record of that fateful day.

Go Here and Remember:

The release of these emotional pieces coincides with the attacks on Bush and what did he know when. Makes me hate the media scum more than the disgusting towel heads who did this.

USA Today revealed the identity of the "mystery angel" in the red bandana, who saved the lives of many trapped above the impact points in Tower Two.This story caused his mother to contact one of the ladies in this article, and she showed her son's picture to her.She said that yes, it was her son that saved her life and pointed the way out for so many down the unobstructed staircase.His heroism, alas, was not enough to save his own life, as his body was discovered in March, in the lobby of the South Tower with several other firefighters.He made three trips to retrieve stranded people and was instrumental in guiding those in the 78th floor skylobby to safety.

His name was Crowther Wells, and he was a 24 yr old trader with Sandler O'Neil, on the 104th flr.He carried a red bandana everywhere and he was also a volunteer firefighter in Nyack, NY.His sacrifice and self disregard to his own safety cost him his life, but saved many others.

RIP Crowther Wells, you are with the angels.

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.

But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go." I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God

During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the following:

Our Father who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever Amen.

After you read the interviews above...you have just as much hatred for these Ossama idots as one might have for the Nazis. They took innocent people with no cause. For people like this...you cannot have a moment of mercy for them. They need to meet their maker as quickly as possible...and we need to help them along.
