Flight 93 memorial

[TAftonomos]

Amazing grace played on the bagpipes makes me cry.  Thank you all for what you did (93), thank you to the first responders who rushed into the building(s), and thank you to each and every member of the service that puts their ass on the line day after day so I can sit here, watch TV, and cry at some music.

my town was chosen to be the recipient of a couple pieces of the steel left over from the towers. Tomorrow we are going to have several activities honoring those who died in the line of duty. Flags, waxed and polished apparatus, bag pipes, and class A uniforms to name a few...

I remember all the semi-tractor flatbeds staged by my office building in the weeks and months afterwards

Giant steel I-Beams on the trailers....bent and twisted like turkish taffy....

some still marked with their original erected dates and names of the ironworkers

I recall thinking what a waste of good steel and hoping they would do something good with the scrap

Here's to all of us who never asked for this and didn't deserve it

and Here's to those who willingly went in to help

and Here's to those who never came back out

amen to this. those people were all heroes. the crash site is really close to pittsburgh, and was even closer to my girlfriends home of johnstown. 93 touched a lot of people deeply. great examples of what human beings can truly be.
