9/11 – NEVER FORGET! 19 Years ago today…

Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
-Psalm 91:9-10 (AMP)

“We’ve seen so much that brings tears to our eyes and makes us all feel a sense of anger. But God can be trusted, even when life seems at its darkest.”
-Billy Graham (Billy Graham’s remarks given at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., on Friday, September 14, 2001, brought hope and healing to a shocked nation. His words are still powerful and relevant 19 years later.)

Over 10,000 first responders and others who were in the World Trade Center area that day have been diagnosed with cancer. Officials anticipate that the number of those who die from those cancers will exceed the more than 2,600 who died in the attacks that day. The first responders who were in and around the two World Trade Centers when they collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001 have died of cancer they developed as a result of exposure to the toxic blend of ash, chemicals and other toxic materials they dug through to find survivors.

“It’s the nature of the world that most people have moved on, but the people directly involved with 9/11, for them, twice a day it’s 9/11.”
Robert Reeg, former FDNY firefighter
