Ground Hero - World Trade Center - Part 1 of 2

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY ...

... see this moment in history as they saw it. Not a moment of terror, but a moment of strength! When good men did great things. Tens of thousands were saved by simple acts of courage. ... (Robert De Niro)

This tribute is intended to honor all who perished, all those who survived, and all those who served at Ground Hero, on and after the days of the attacks on the United States, as well as all those who continue to serve in emergency services. I will always consider New York my first home. That wondrous place of my youth and early adulthood. That home of many of my ancestors who settled there as farmers and merchants in the 1600s who gazed with hope eternal over that place later known as the World Trade Center. I'm sure they weep with us still.

These videos (Parts 1 and mostly in part 2) contain photographs I took and also include some taken by Chaplain Dan Chapman, who, along with so many others that responded from around the country, and around the world, devoted their time and spirit to helping in ways that go beyond being expressed in words.

I will not allow conspiracy theorists, political mockers, or hate mongers to disgrace the memory of those who perished on 9/11. This is not the forum to discuss such theories - there are plenty of other videos for such vents; therefore, please be respectful and view this as the remembrance it is intended as. All inappropriate comments, as outlined above, will be promptly removed.

Do you mind if I ask where you got the first picture in this video?

"Peace on Earth", it says. How terribly, terribly, ironic. Perhaps more tragedy than irony.

[ClaudiaMontana8]

It was a Christmas card I had received from a friend overseas.

I would like to join the FDNY. None of them in the attacks should of died (firefighters,police innocent civillians). Those brave 343 fireman who died were brave, and i hope i would be like them.

[seahawks2043]

the most incredible thing about fireman is how the run into a burning building while civilians like us are running out...very brave men
