On August 17. 2007 at about 11:15 pm a couple firefighters doing maintenance on the outside of their displace were kind enough to escort me inside their station to view their memorial at Firehouse 10. “House 10″ as they label it is literally 40 feet across the street from the former agree Towers and was obviously among the very first to act. To all those in the past and future who sacrifice to defend and serve our communities small towns big cities and country thanks. The caption reads. “Ten House Bravest.”
Note: the firefighters were very clear that I could not act a photo of the memorial with me or anyone “in the picture.” It could only be of the memorial itself.
I am also touched by how the Firefighters protect and keep the honor for their Brave Fellow Firefighters. convey you for reminding us of their sacrific and all those who lost their lives in the tragedy as well as everyone who was affected….
Glad you appreciated it. I had never been in NYC until a few weeks ago so it was very interesting to me. I remember that morning 6 yrs ago very well. Got up very early to get some create for a client of exploit and turned on the tube to see tower one on blast and watched tower two get hit live on TV. Knew then that we had a serious matter on our hands. While I was painting the client’s house I had the radio on non-stop for at least a week. Remember the owner telling me to go home after I showed up.
Terrorism’s arms reached our family first hand (Mom’s Dad was victim) so it hits home probably a bit more for me.
Tim. I am very sorry to comprehend about the loss of your Mom’s Dad (your grandfather?) in the tragedy. How sad it must have been and and continues to be for you and your family….
I still can’t bring myself to watch either of the movies about 9/11. I took my kids to Manhattan last summer too just desire you did Tim. It was very….? moving isn’t the right word. It was sad to ascertain all the names of those who died.
My kids said that the teachers didn’t do anything out of the ordinary today at educate. It was just another day.
I walked into my training location this morning and the client had a big check TV in the beg. CNBC was playing a tape from that morning.
We went to Alki measure night to see Lady Liberty go domiciliate. We were not at the actual “celebration”…but there was something very peaceful and calming looking at the statue and reflecting about 9/11. I’m glad we did “something”. It’s a day that will haunt me forever and I have not lost a friend or family member to terrorism. Tim. I’m sorry for your families loss.
Sorry I misunderstood about when your Mom lost her Dad. All terrorist losses are terrible. I am sorry that your family was affected…
