Today we pause to honor the victims, the heroes, and the families who endured unspeakable loss We remember the bravery of first responders and the resilience of Americans I personally remember it as a time of unity when American citizens were flying flags as far as the eye could see & a personal feeling of loss because they were not just buildings to me they were a marvel of engineering and construction and the reason that I chose my career path, from the first day as child when my Father brought me to top of the World Trade Center I still remember walking through the amazing lobby from the huge escalator to the beautiful marble walls and floors the breathtaking light fixtures! There was never a doubt there that I wanted to be a builder and work in Construction
On this day 25 years later 9/11 reminds us of strength of unity enduring the spirit of Hope and to carry forward the legacy of those lost by living with purpose
Let's take a moment today to reflect
WE WILL NEVER FORGET
