We lost family too. And we know someone who made it out, but not without being burned over his upper body. He's never been able to look at a picture of the towers in flames, b/c he was set on fire.
My Airsoft Team is named The Fighting 69th, after the Civil War Unit which my ancestors fought in and carry the 69th's famous green flag into battle sometimes, our name and the carrying of the flag in battle, is to honor the men in the 69th who fought and died for America. out of 7 ancestors who fought in the 69th 2 were killed at Fredricksburg, 1 at Antietam and 1 at Gettysburg.
@generaltodd2 Thanks for the info, I'm a civil war buff myself. Just so you know this fighting 69th is the exact unit that fought in the civil war that your ancestors fought in. I was proud to see the green flag, with the harp and clover flying. I was just as proud of the fact that we were the last surviving unit in the Irish Brigade. Although most of us weren't Irish haha.
