Please Remember

PLEASE REMEMBER.......

Please remember the Fathers,Mothers, Sons, Daughters, the Aunts and the Uncles.......

Please Remember that morning how they brushed their teeth, combed their hair, donned their clothes, and got ready for work.....

Please remember that morning as they started their days , got into their cars, caught the train, hailed a cab, or walked to work....

Please remember.... How they kissed a family member goodbye before heading off to work, told them how much they loved them, and how those would be the last moments they would every have after that morning.....

I met a man today,as he walked through my door. Today September 11th, the very man in the left side of this very picture.
He is just like you or I.
A man who goes to work, and does his job to the best of his ability.
A man who brushes his teeth and combs his hair.
The man in line at the local market just down the road from us all.

This is the man who walked through my door today.......
I wondered to myself if I would ever meet someone from that morning.....how it would effect my life...Thinking this only moments before he walked through my door ....6 years to the day....

"Please Remember...

He said that he had been up for 72 hours at the time that photo was taken. He went on to state he remembers entering the tunnel in a bus full of his fellow fighters and passing into the darkness on the other side in the earily morning light. He remembers the smoke, the ash, the smells of hell that day. He remembers the tiredness he felt as he lifted fellow firefighters in a bucket into the twisted steel over head that day.... He remembers as if it were yesturday!"

All I could do was shake his hand and softly thank him for what he did that day... The man in the left of the picture. I asked him what, if anything, could I do for him? He simply stated ...

" Please remember the people and families of that day - every day!
Cause I do!"

Please remember... all the year through... not just today...but everyday!
Please remember......

I met a man today, held his hand, and I remembered.... and I will remember everyday!
I met a man today.....

DO YOUR PART

PLEASE REMEMBER!
