Thread: 9/11 – Tenth Anniversary

God Bless America and
God Bless Her Friends Around the World

We have some friends who would go visit his parents in New Jersey (her parents in Florida) for many of their vacations. They were visiting Joe's parents in September 2001 and made a trip in to Manhattan in which his mother took photos of them enjoying the sights. She took a photo of the Twin Towers just a few days before they, and the US, were attacked.

One of our neighbors knew someone who was on one of the planes -- David Angell, who was one of the producers of the TV show Frasier.

I remember getting a call from my hubby about the time the towers fell. He told me not to be concerned -- there was extra security at work being placed. I wasn't even thinking of LA being one of the targets -- but since he works in emergency services, that is a concern. He and his workers stayed late that day (that was rare for the area he worked at that time) getting caught up fixing the hand radios used by first responders and city officials -- usually not a concern, but they decided to put in the extra time that day.

Thanks Norman for posting this tribute.
