Recently my wife and I were in New York. We spent just two days there and I urge anyone who has the chance to visit. It is a remarkable place.
We went to the 9-11 memorial site. (They discourage the term ground zero) We had to get a pass at a storefront 3 blocks away as the site is not yet finished. We had 45 minutes to spare before our time to enter the site so we walked a few blocks and found St. Pauls church. (Trinity church on google maps ????)
Inside there were 5 tables of different people with some sort of story to tell. I cannot remember the other 4.
Fabrizio Bivona was a first responder that survived the attacks. He wrote a book about that day called Gone but Not Forgotten
We did not buy it at the time but ordered it after we got home. I cannot read for more than a few minutes at a time. I thought I was well read and educated on the events of 9-11 but I was not. In this book are stories and images I have never seen or experienced.
Please check out his site and story. Maybe I am biased, having met the man. And after visiting the site it changes how you view the day.
He wrote the book and for 5 years he only offered it to other first responders around the country. Only after numerous firemen told him he had to let other people read it did he release to the general public,
A more humble man I have never met. I am now in the process of sharing his story to family, friends and co-workers.
SDA is none of these, but from the posts of many here I have read, this book would be of interest. Thanks for the time, and the bandwidth, for this.

My pleasure.

  1. Like you Kate, we visited St.Paul’s church when in NYC in July 2011. It was a very moving experience with so many first responder momentos. For those who don’t know, this church, literally next door to the WTC, was a place of refuge, food and spiritual comfort for those working on the pile to desperately recover anyone who might have survived the collapse of the twin towers. How this church itself survived undamaged is a miracle. I will buy this book.
    We must never forget.

  2. On this day of remembering a horrendous disaster, I prey that the victims families and America someday find closure to the horror of the 9/11 attack.

  3. Occam, the only closure will be when Americans and their government wake up to the fact that the war on terror is real and when America’s enemies inside the country and government are acknowledged and dealt with.
    As long as the multicultural myth that all cultures and religions are “equal” remains alive, there can be no closure. Jihadist Muslims and their supporters in the U.S. and the Middle East are waging a war on the free world and until Leftard multiculturalists get their heads out from up their a**es and throw off their denial, we’re no better off than we were on 9/11.
    If I had lost a loved one in the 9/11 attacks, I’d feel betrayed by Obama’s government and the consensus media who have the back of Muslim extremists and who perpetuate the myth of all-cultures-are-equal while bashing the Judeo-Christian religion which is the foundation and defender of our democratic freedoms in the West.
    My husband and I also visited St. Paul’s this past summer, a powerful testimony to the triumph of not only the human spirit but man’s humanity to man — and Christians’ commitment to loving their neighbours as themselves, their neighbours being anyone in need, whatever their culture or religion.
    Rest eternal grant unto all the victims, living or dead, of 9/11, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

  4. But don’t you remember “McChimpey-Bush-H*tler” did it…it was a conspiracy etc etc. It was an inside job, blah, blah, blah.
    Why isn’t George Bush being prosecuted by the “Obama-Nation(tm)”? A: Because there is no evidence that there was a conspiracy; other than by a bunch of ideologically motivated Islamist supremacists.
    And whatever happened to trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City? Or building a mosque two blocks from the World Trade Centre. Oh yes, that was deemed offensive and insensitive to the departed and the families that remain.
    Luke 6:18-19
    18 and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.

  5. My wife and I were there a week ago and as Canadians it was still a gut wrenching experience to visit the memorial. The Memorial is so well done and moving. It reminds me why I am proud to call Americans my friends.
    I am defenitley going to check out the book.
    Thanks.

  6. Because of my work, I visited the WTC many times and had lots of friends there. One particular friend was David. I was in his office many times including the day Gorbachev visited the WTC. I was in Houston that horrible September 11. As I was going into my office building a television was showing the scenes from the North Tower. At about that time David was calling his wife and parents from his office in the South Tower. I saw the plane hit the South Tower approximately where David’s office was. David’s line died and so did David.
    I cry on September 11. Today was no exception.

  7. Never forget, never surrender.

    Like this, eh, syncrodox?
    CBN just released a short but interesting documentary on the Siege of Vienna—a pivotal moment in history, when the invading and seemingly invincible Muslim hordes of the Ottoman Empire were finally stopped at the gates of Vienna.
    Unfortunately, as will be evident in other stories at FrontPageMag’s site, our elites are feverishly working to surrender to sharia.

  8. Me No Dhimmi, thanks for the Siege of Vienna video link. It was fascinating and I intend to get John Stoye’s “The Siege of Vienna”.
    This time the siege is more subtle, but the end game is the same, and there are traitors within the walls.

  9. The Ottomans undertook a second siege of Vienna in September of 1683. The siege was broken by an alliance of Christian kingdoms, with King Jan III Sobieski leading a relief army which made a hurried assault on the Ottoman siege forces on September 12, as the Ottoman’s prepared a final breach of the city’s walls. In less than 3 hours, Ottoman army was largely destroyed. Never again did a Muslim army besiege Vienna.
    September 11, 1683 was the last day Islamic armies threatened the Christian world with conquest by force of arms. September 12 is the day when Muslim dreams were shattered.
