Never Forget

As I sat there looking at the final resting place for many of these men, I felt as if the dead were asking me not to forget them...to keep their memories with me for the rest of my life. I made them a promise that I would remember them every waking day until I finally join them. (Photo AP/Wide World Photos/Graham Morrison)

Don't Think Twice

I don't think any firefighter that day thought twice about entering the Twin Towers. As firefighters, you never think twice about advancing into the jaws of death; it's instilled in our blood and character. (Photo AP/Wide World Photos/Chao Soi Cheong)

A Long List of Deceased

When the list of guys missing came out, it tooke me three or four days to go through it. After two or three pages, I had to stop. Guys I've known for 23 years were killed, over a hundred men -- and I know them. (Photo Steve Spak)

This incident change me for the better. I've always been a very responsible person. I like to do things all by the book. Now, I''m starting to see life a little bit different. I now know that I'm not totally in control of certain things. So I'm taking things easier now, without all that anxiety that placed on myself. (Photo Stever Spak)

The Day Lives On

I can still smell the Trade Center sometimes-in my car, in clothes that I wasn't wearing down there. I go to my closet and put three or four jackets on before it finally doesn't smell like the World Trade Center. (Photo Willie Cirone)
