    Nothing to apologize for - I was just making sure I knew which song you were talking about. It must have been beautiful.

    My friends husband, who was in the lobby when the plane hit,& was told to leave the building, waited in the front of the building for his coworkers to come down....Not one of them came down & he soon realized that he was the only one who survived. The guy stuck in the elevator was rescued later.

    The weeks after the attack were just as shocking. My fiance owned a custom framing shop in Middle Village, an area where a lot of cops & firemen lived. Many never came home. I was working there with him at the time..There was a church down the block that had a funeral almost every day, with a huge police & firefighter turnout that went on for blocks. We heard the bagpipes playing & we came out to show our support & respect.

    Many people came into the shop to have pictures framed for the services, because they had no bodies...Only a photograph. It was heartbreaking. We framed many large pictures for funerals, folded flags, medals, everything they had to remember their loved ones was carefully preserved. This was what they had left of their loved ones. We met a lot of the family members of the young firefighters who told us stories of these brave young men. Many of them were walking up those stairs, as the people were coming down. It was so sad.

    I tgink this tragedy was one of the defining moments of the 21st Century. All over the world people will remember where they were and what they were doing when the terrible news started to filter through. Even as a non American I still feel every bit as much for the people who passed away on that awful day as if I was there at the time. I think a part of the free world disappeared that day that will take a long time to return. Possibly it never will.

    With all respect, I can´t remember 9-11 victims may they all rest in peace, without remembering my Dad who took his final journey just a couple of Days before that very sad Year, on a 8-11 evening... Love and miss you Daddy!
