There were all kinds of acts of heroism that day that we'll never know. My heart breaks all over again for the victims, survivors and all their families.

Thanks for posting this. I have family members that work for AON. It is my understanding that these men and women were true hero's who saved many lives by their actions.

I have been reading this material on the NYT site all evening since your post brought it to my attention.

What the @#$% can we do to make this issue front-and-center in the public consciousness? It's practically like it didn't happen, as we steadily lose what little national resolve we have left of what we had in the aftermath of September 11. Profiling would identify 100% of the people who fit 100% of the profile who committed 100% of the September 11 attacks. INSTEAD, towelheads walk through our airports with impunity, on and off airplanes, shooting people with shootguns, wearing bombs in their shoes like Maxwell Smart----meanwhile security strip searches Grandma Moses and Grandpa Walton because his hip replacement sets off the metal detector.

The media yanked the images of death by noon that day, Sept 11. I say media should show jumpers hitting the pavement and all of the most gruesome scenes; the words of relatives in these (sparse, brief, almost begrudging sounding obligatory) NYT interviews are so IMMEDIATE, reminding us that to THEM, to the victimss' families, this is as real as yesterday!

I wish it didn't have to happen again to rekindle our will and resolve to go after the enemies. It WOULDN'T require another occurence IF we'd let THIS ONE attack of SEPT 11 be sufficient to inspire us to do what's necessary WITHOUT CEASING until we have eliminated the enemy from the face of the earth. Why would we stop before that goal is acheieved? Yet, liberals now think accomodation of deathly and deadly islam is acceptable when it was clearly not acceptable with arguably even less deadly nazism, japanese imperialism and Soviet communism (which were all deadly, but DAMN---these moham ragheads make Hiro and Hitler and Stalin seem like pretty small adversaries in size and scope compared the billion mohammedans willing to kill themselves and sacrifice their kids to kill US just because of our freaking RELIGION!.....and they say *I* "hate" because I don't want to be around homos and pedos?....)

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.

But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go." I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God

During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the following:

Our Father who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever Amen.
