KissMySilvSS Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Rest in peace to the bravest of the brave, 343. Also, RIP Andrew Fredericks Lieutenant Squad 18 Laid to Rest on October 8th, 2001 "What can I say? Countless firefighters knew him well, either personally or through his writings and lecture series. He came to us from Engine 48 in The Bronx, but I think he never totally left there. He often would tell us fire stories from "Da Bronx" and our sarcastic reply would be "Why don`t you go back there?" (Of course we did not mean it.) Andy raised our bar at Squad 18. His extensive knowledge transcended to a plane where many of us did not go. For me, Andy was the source of the fringe elements of the Fire Service. When I needed information on subjects such as Fire Protection or response patterns, I called Andy. He was a wealth of information. His insight into the psychological aspect of firefighters was something he was just starting to reveal in his writings." - Bob Stude, FDNY REt., Squad 18 I Never met Andy, but he was one of my best friends instructors at NYS academy, I've heard some awesome stories that I cherish..... Say an extra prayer today for all that perished! Edited September 11, 2008 by KissMySilvSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerJJ Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Seven years later and it still feels like it was yesterday. To our true American heroes, thank you and rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WODY'S GIRL Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 It feels like this was just yesterday. I will never forget this day i was in 10th grade at the time living on Long Island...I did not find out what happened till about 1PM. The teachers were not aloud to talk about it or put there TV's on due to the fact that many people in my school had relatives that worked there. To everyone who lost there lives on that day 7 years ago may you rest in peace. We will never forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankg42 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I was at work, here in NYC. Only a short distance north of the Twin Towers. I will never forget the people I saw in the street later in the afternoon. It was similar to the old films of refugees that you see, in long lines leaving their homes. There were long lines of people, very quiet, some dirty from the debris that fell, walking toward transportation centers in midtown (Penn Station, Grand Central, Port Authority Bus Station) trying to get out of the city. The city was eerily quiet. Only an occasional siren. Most everyone in the city was worried if it was over, or if something else was going to happen. It is something that will be in our memories forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) I will never forget 09-11-01. For the current generation, this is our "Pearl Harbor". It is a day we will hopefully remember for the rest of our lives. A day were we will always remember were we where on this day. A day we will remember what we were doing when these terror attacks began to unfold around our country. A day when we will ALL remember those who fell in the line of duty, those who stood up against the terrorist, those who fought back! These Americans didn't think of themselves. They thought it was their job or duty. It was the right thing to do on this day. We will never forget. -God bless the USA.

eddieo818 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 i will never forget 9/11/2001 Rest in Peace all the people that had their lives taken from them.

CoolBlueSS Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I will always remember where I was that day. The thing that sticks in my mind were the people jumping out of 70-80 story windows to get away from the fire knowing they're going to die either way. I think they should show 5-10 minutes of the footage once a month on every TV, satellite, and cable station, because I think too many people easily forget what happened, and why we're at war.
