My first blog-- Sept. 11 related

I made a mistake before looking at nydailynews.com website. As a person that lost many friends at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 (firefighters, police, port authority employees and people I worked with that were there), and and going to funerals for as many as I could. Tomorrow, Sept. 11 will be a very solemn day. I will cheer for the Giants in their game versus Dallas and Yankees versus Tampa, but the memories of those that I worked with, played softball with, had fun with them, fought fires with and bbq'gs with them and their families will not be out of my mind and thoughts. I will have a toast to all their memories.

When i looked at the website, I also saw that the nurse from the iconic VJ World War II picture (sailor kissing a nurse) passed away. She in herself was interesting. She was an immigrant for Austria in 1938 to flee the Nazi's. She was never to see her parents again not know what happened to them. May they greeting her in the afterlife.

If you have time just check out nydailynews.com for some of the stories of Sept. 11, 2001.
I leave you with this link if it works.

 Welcome to blogland.

Tomorrow is a sad day for many. I too remember the day as if it was yesterday. I think of the families of those who lost love ones, of those who were there and survived.

To those who gave their life to rescue others, you are forever in our hearts. Thank you!!

 I can't explain why, but the 15th anniversary was the hardest day of remembrance for me. I didn't lose friends, but......

I think I realize we'll never heal.
