As a mother of a current junior at Sanford School in Wilmington, DE-a student who was the 10th grade class President last year, this really hit me. My son is also interested in Economics and would love to work in NYC. I count every day of his life a blessing and this really brought that fact home. Dan currently has Mr. Johns for AP U.S. History. I bet a lot of the same teachers are still there. Your family is in my prayers and thoughts. It is strange that I came across this at all.

Don’t forget about Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers) who was a Marine Sniper in Vietnam credited with 36 kills, one by hand with a bayonet…just kidding, I know he was never in the military.

David, I feel the same way. I don’t want to watch, but I feel that I must. I also want to give these families hugs and tell the families of the Flight 93 victims how amazing I think their loved ones were for taking their fate into their own hands and probably saving 100s more people. May God bless the families and our military.

Remembering the Fallen of 9-11

What a lovely page. I, too, worked at Hartefeld National when the Sezna’s owned it. I have some of the funniest memories of Deeg, who was most likely more comfortable on the golf course rather than in the prep kitchen or as a server! I didn’t deter him from being just another employee though. Never entitled, never haughty, Deeg brought his A-game and a smile to work every day. We had a lot of fun working together for a couple summers. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.

Where ever Davis, Gail, and Willie may be…I hope you can still smile.

I was working in a factory when a guy who was the work clown walked in from a break and told us a plane hit the Trade Center. I knew by the look on his face he was serious but my mind still couldn’t grasp it. As soon as I could I got away and went to the break room to see the t.v. I watched as they played over and over the planes hitting and I didn’t know what to think or feel.

Later when I saw the videos of people jumping to escape the pain of being burned alive I was so upset I had to work hard to contain the tears. When I think of 9/11 now I can’t get those images out of my head. It hurts me so much to think of this day, but I never want to forget. I wish I could give everyone that lost someone to this cowardly act a never-ending hug. Lean on God, he is not the source of pain but he is a refuge from it.

I too googled the names after watching “Yes Dear”. I am a single father of two who has gone through big heartaches trying to raise two troubled teens, reading this kind of puts it all in perspective. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it would be to lose a child, especially through such a cowardly senseless act.

My Prayers go out to the family and friends, I am fortunate that I didn’t know anyone that perished on 9/11 but reading stories like this do make me feel somehow connected.

Hey there is a program called the Young Marines. This is a program for boys and girls between the ages of 8-18. And they are trained like soldiers. What I mean by this is that they learn marching, military knowlegde, surivor skills, teamwork and much more. Since your daughter seems so interested in the Military, I would highly recommend checking out the Young Marines. It is a great program. I know because I went through it. I was in for 7 years and I loved every minute of it. I was a lot like your daughter and this program has helped me in so many ways. For more information regardingthe Young Marines just go to the website http://www.youngmarines.com.

Reading this story, you don’t know how close to home this hits. Unlike Taylor, I was perfectly healthy up until middle school when we noticed that I just wasn’t keeping up in gym class the way a girl of my apparent good shape should be. At 12, I was diagnosed with a rare, progressive, nuero-muscular disease. 8 years later, 6 months until my 21st birthday, it’s a daily battle, emotionally and physically. I applaud Taylor for being the generous soul she obviously is. With a serious disability, especially at such a young, and already difficult age, it’s easy to give up or become selfish and inverted but this little girl has done the opposite. I can relate to her on many different levels, especially her fascination with the military. Twenty years old, and my stomach still jumps to my chest when I see a service man/woman in uniform lol. Especially those Marines in their blues lol! It’s a little bittersweet now, knowing that I will never be able to join that family but it makes my heart happy to know that Taylor got to realize her dream of being a Devil Dog. Ooh rah Taylor girl! You rock!!!
