Dedication to our Heroes
There stand our heroes hand in hand
with every stride they protect our land
When all of a sudden a terrible scare
The World Trade Center had been hit by air
With hearts that were heavy and burden with pain
They entered the building again and again
Hoping only to find so many alive
They struggled and groped with no thought of tire
As they continued to fight the battle of fires
What went thru their minds when their lives were at risk
We will never know for their thought have gone with them
Along with undying love and dedication to us
The battle was lost and amongst all the rubble
They left many families and friends severely troubled
Our thoughts and prayers go with them and hope that they find
A place made in heaven that is deserving of their kind
For the heroes we lost were many in number
and their families and friends will always remember
So Lord keep them in your Book of Angels
And let them know our hearts will ever mend
for those of them who have gone before us
THERE WILL NEVER BE AN END........
Their Message To Us 6 Years Later
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Thank you grasshopper
What an absolutely beautiful post. I sit here with tears streaming down my face, as I picture my nephew over in Iraq at this very moment - and the memories of 9/11 still running clearly in my head.
I applaud you for you post, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting it.

Thanks for starting this thread grasshopper and the posts are beautiful.
I'd also like to say to Zoey - that I hope and pray your nephew remains safe in Iraq .....
I have kept this all of these years -- but it originally circulated via email shortly after 9/11 and then the author came forward about three months later and I believe there has now been a song recorded. But this is one of my favorites and I post it every year: I am also a New Yorker and was there that day and lost very good friends.
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 "Goodbye." 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 on 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 with the Firefighters, the Police Officers, the Emergency Workers. I was there, watching each brave step they took.
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 ~~~

Zoey, you are quiet welcome. My heart goes out to you but please, have faith he will be coming home.
Athena, the Stacey Randall writing is absolutly one of the best ever written for ''that day'' that no matter where we stand on politics, it will always be held dear.
I really have to say after the collecting from friends mails this one talking to her daddy will be yet another that speaks so clear from the mouth of a child.

I had posted this a couple of months back when there was a terrorist plot in NYC uncovered re: the gas lines. I wanted to share it again and was wondering if anyone else is on the board from NY that was there that day?
Also -- Randy if you ever read this (I post it every year on various boards) hopefully you will know how much you meant to me that day!!!
Anyway one of the most positive things that I recall on that day was all of the people further uptown that had not been affected by all of the debris offering free water, sandwiches, coffee, face masks, etc. What I especially remember was a guy named Randy. He was standing outside of his office building and there were about 5 of us from my office - totally covered with debris, eyelashes, clothes. He gave us a key to a lady's room and told us to go to the 11th floor. He said there you will enter an office with a receptionist. Just tell her Randy sent you and she'll know what to do. I just thought I needed to try to call home (my cell phone wasn't working) and use the bathroom. When we got up there and told her "Randy" sent us; without hesitation she got up; went to a "microwave" took out hot towels and washcloths and pointed us to the bathroom. We all went in and washed up and came out. Then she pointed us to the phones and allowed us to make phone calls and there was a table set up with food, coffee and drinks. (Unfortunately I was unable to reach anyone).
To this day I have no idea who Randy is; don't know what office I was in and have never had the opportunity to thank this man and his staff. I don't even remember what street we were on. But anywhere I post about that day I post this message hoping that Randy or someone on his staff reads it and knows how much we appreciated what they did. Stories like this were heard from alot of people and I'll never forget just how great New Yorkers are no matter what color, creed or culture.
It wasn't until approximately 1:15PM that my daughter was able to get through to my cell phone from school and how upset she was. After I spoke with her I just asked her to contact her brother, my husband and my mom so they would know I was OK.

I hope that Randy reads your message as well Athena. What a wonderful, caring man he was.
For all those that experienced 9/11 close up and personal, my heart goes out to you. I can't even imagine the horror of being there that day. I live so far away from New York, but I know I was terrified watching it unfold on TV. I cried and cried. I had trouble sleeping for weeks.
Athena, I just wanted you to know that even though I don't know you personally, I am glad that you made it through 9/11. I can tell just from your numerous posts what a caring, loving person you are, and I am glad I have had the chance to post with you.
To Athena -
To all those that made it through 9/11 -
And for those that didn't -

Dear Athena,
I came on line upset about a hot water heater and read the post and yours brought me to tears. I have to say in all of my internet pals I have never had the privilege nor the honor to meet with anyone who was there that day.
I was a loss for comforting words in a world of quick and hateful one so I cooked dinner instead. I came back on line and my loss was filled when opening an e mail from my friend Cathy who sent to first posted tributes and after listening to it, I think it was timed and sent just for you.So, if you never find Randy I just want you to know He was there that day. (lame I know but all I have)

p.s. it's the same one you posted with out the graphics I could not link.

I'm so glad you made it Athena. What I find absolutely amazing is in a world full of hate and despair, at one very moment, one kind word, one kind smile or one kind action can change it all. What a very touching story, I thankyou for sharing it with us. I'm from Boston, and I have never experienced a more quiet, sad week, than 9/11. We all came together at that moment, and it really showed unity, even if it was short lived- it was incredibly moving.

OMG -- thank you soooo much! This is so sweet of you. I am crying ....... it means more hearing it than reading it. I've never heard this before. Lame .... you have got to be kidding me. Words cannot express my appreciation. It is still so vivid and I think so often of the friends I lost and had to go through therapy because I made it and they didn't; I was late for work that day and the first plane had already hit when I came up out of the train station. I saw all of these people standing on the street bending down and looking up (there was scaffolding on Wall St due to construction) and I saw the second plane hit and other horrors that I won't mention. I don't want to start babbling ..... I will be attending memorial services Tuesday morning and this year it is the exact day of the week.  I know one thing if I ever see Randy again -- I'll know. I have never forgotten his face.
Thanks Zoey and Mishell --
Mishell - just have to say -- I really believe there are far many more good people than there are evil.

This is just how respectful the rescuers were of the people they found buried in the rubble:

Wow Athena, thankyou for sharing that, I haven't seen that footage yet. The was heartwarming that they stopped everything to say a prayer, wrap the body in a flag, and pay their respects.

Sharing what was shared with me...I'm assuming this was written in the days following the 9/11 Attacks.
A Healing Prayer
by Reverend Wintley Phipps
God, we come to you a nation in pain.
Hate has wounded us yet again.
We watched in horror as men whose hearts were filled with hatred, destroyed the lives of thousands of innocent people.
But our hearts also swelled with pride as we saw hundreds of Americans, whose hearts were filled with love and service, sacrifice their lives trying to save others.
The brave firemen, who marched undaunted into those burning buildings.
Those co-workers who perished because they refused to leave the side of the paralyzed or the infirmed.
We find so much hope in their heroism.
Last week, our nation lost so many good people, and for years to come we will all hunger for their smiles, for their laughter, for their counsel, for their fellowship.
This tragedy has cast a shadow of fear and sadness over our nation and today we weep for the innocent who have left us.
We mourn for those who have been taken from us.
Those precious children on their first plane ride.
That father, in pursuit of his career.
That mother trying to keep her children clothed and fed.
That young professional trying to make ends meet.
When we think of them, we are overwhelmed by what seems like an unbearable sense of loss.
But God, help us to remember that just as every flower in a storm is safe with you, we know the innocent are safe also, God, in your care.
Because of your love we believe we will see our loved ones again.
Help us to remember that in our sorrow we do not weep alone.
You weep with us.
AMEN

I remember that day very clearly. My son called me, he said, 'put the TV on mum, America's been hit'. I shall never forget the scenes before me. Please be assured that many, many people shed a tear with you.

I can remember the day it happened, at the time i was working for a cable tv providor in a call center. There were big screen tv's all around the offices and i watched the news as it happened, i remember the phones stopping ringing, no calls came through for what seemed like ages - i guess everyone was watching it happen too. I was shocked speachless. My heart goes out to people who lost loved ones on that .
Last night there were lots of programmes on tv about 9/11 including one about a woman referred to as the 9/11 faker. She had claimed that she survived the attacks and got out of the tower before it fell. Later it was proven that she was not even in New York on that day. How can somone use something so tragic and sad to get attention
