Remembering What Happened

I saw a piper and band on CNN.
Something made rise and stand.

Since I work on an Army post, they have been sounding bells at the times different events occurred: when each plane crashed and each tower fell.

There is no way I will ever forget this date. My sister and my brother-in-law had a meeting there. They were running early but luckily, not that early. Both of them are late night people so their meeting was for noon. When they came up from the subway, they were rushed into the lobby of the second building just before it was hit. After things quite falling they were rushed out of the building, across the street and finally out of the area just before the buildings started falling. I was the only one it the family that knew they had been down there at that time. They finally told Mom and Dad a few days later when they could get phone access to call and let them know they were ok.

One of my wife's employees was on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC. We have said a prayer for her and the rest who died that day.

Fox News covered the FDNY pipe band at the ceremonies in New York.

God bless the U.S.

I'm flying the Flag to day in memory of the innocent people that lost their lives seven years ago.

My heartfelt gratitude to the memory of those brave firefighters and police officers who died in the line of duty that day.

A reminder of how everyday these folks do the extraordinary, and every year some make the ultimate sacrifice.

My hat is off to them and you good people.
