When the bell tolled, You answered the call, Without reservation only duty, To Honor your oath you came. With your valor never weakening, Your response to serve arrived, You set your course to save, Without hesitation you came.

In Memoriam - September 11, 2001 For Americans old enough to think for themselves on September 11, 2001, that date will mark the day when the whole world changed - in the twinkling of an eye. Adults will try to explain to children not yet born just how the events of that day and the world's reaction to those events shaped the world they grow up in. Before we make that new world, we need to see if we can learn from history, try not to repeat it and try to do a better job of extending the breadth and...

Found this one on YouTube in 2006. It is still one of my favorite tribute videos to the victims of the terrorists on September 11, 2001. I know as we get further and further away from that horrible day, people forget. We need to make ourselves remember--myself definitely included in that group.

Letter sent out 9/14/01 to my family and friends. My letter combined with still photos.

WILL NEVER FORGET! Have You Forgotten?

Here is a youTube link to a multi image slide show, I produced on the rescue mission at Ground Zero in NYC Stills from the production: Part 1 Part 2

I am just returning from 2 week trip to Asia and the jet lag may be getting the best of me....however, I heard on the radio today the stark differences between McCain and Obama at ground zero marking the 7th anniversary of 911.

From "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" to the Doors' "The End," wars are often remembered by the songs they produce. If that rule holds for America's war on global terrorism, then an independently produced little ditty entitled "The Ballad of Mike Moran" may be with us for generations. Talk radio stations from coast to coast have been playing the song for two weeks now; a rousing choral effort memorializing Queens New York firefighter Mike Moran's taunt to Osama bin Laden to "Kiss my royal Irish a - -." Moran's brother John, also a firefighter, died in the Twin Tower collapse. At ...

This is a video I did a while ago. I'm using a free hosting site. For some reason some get a video that is not what I intended. Let me know if you have problems accessing the correct video. If you get the right one, I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

We must insist that these images and the tortures of that day be forever exposed, so that it can't be 'forgotten' or 'forgiven'.

The city is reconsidering plans to name a new Staten Island ferry boat the "September 11th," after an informal poll of riders found almost 80 percent are against it. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that he had not anticipated the opposition but will take it into consideration. “Quite honestly, I was surprised at that,” the mayor said Tuesday. “I think there would be a lot of people in favor of naming it 9/11, but apparently there are not. So, we are in the process of trying to set up a process to get other input.” The city Department of Transportation said...
