The towers fell. Lest we forget.
:salute :salute

The Lord is my shepard, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads my beside quiet waters,
Even though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death,
I fear no evil,
for You are with me
your rod and staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
PSALM 23

This day is bitter sweet for me...the towers fell...my 2nd daughter was born...within 1 hour of each other.

It still fills me with rage to even think about it....frankly.

7 years ago today I responded to the WTC.
Like every other officer at the scene I wanted to be a part of the rescue effort.
Instead I got morgue detail. Much worse IMHO not because of the working conditions, but of the hopeless feeling you got. I would much rather have been moving rubble and hoping to save someone but instead was seeing firsthand the brutal aftermath of the attack.
My most heartbreaking moment was when I had to inventory the property of a victim, a NYFD member. He was barely recognizable as a human being but in his pocket was his keychain with a locket in the shape of his shield. Inside was pictures of his 2 daughters.
I dont know exactly why I type this here...twice Ive come close to deleting it and just posting a salute. I guess its my way of putting a more personal face on the tragedy and making its memory linger with you all...and its therapeutic for me as well.
Like almost everyone in NY, I lost friends that day - 2 fellow officers.
Take nothing in life for granted ladies & gents. Cherish every day, hug your kids, your dog, and enjoy life.
Here ends my sermon :)
Thanks for remembering.

I sure hope the people responsible get brought to justice. 7 years is way to long.

:salute From the other side of the pond.
Well I remember that terrible day. I came in from school at 4.00 GMT and walked into the kitchen. Looked at the TV only to see the plane hit the second tower. The now famous image of that day. I ran out and told my friend that the US had been attacked and he never believed me untill I dragged him in to see the footage. We got in just as they showed the towers collapsing. Only two word escaped his mouth that day. Two words that im sure were said everywhere.
'Bl**dy Hell'

It's stories like these that help us remember that it wasn't just people who lost their lives. It was fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, grandparents, nieces and nephews....and friends.
Thanks for sharing this story. :salute Never Forget
