911 Interview: May we NEVER forget

This is a POWERFUL 17 minute interview with Rebecca who lived through 911.  I hope that this will add to the memoirs so that we will NEVER forget this horrific day in history.  It is important to remember the hero’s.

We talked after the interview and she mentioned a few more powerful experiences:

  • equipment-they would try and retrieve fire equipment, and she was not sure why they wanted all this stuff.  It turned out that they would get skin for DNA testing off of the equipment to help identify the location of the firemen that were missing/killed.
  • smell-even today she has a hard time with the smell.  she couldn’t describe the smell but it has been so etched into her heart and mind that just asking her about it brought deep emotions.
  • crowds-she remembered that months later as she would drive up to work at ground zero there were people lined up on the streets cheering for all the volunteers.  she would comment to her friends; please go home and go one with your lives.

Included below are VERY graphic and moving photos of that fateful day. Help us all NEVER to forget the ability of all of us to do horrible things to each other,  help us to bend a knee and love one another and may we never forget the hero’s of that day.
