I spent 5 years working in Manhattan, taking the Path train from Newark to the WTC, every day. My wife and I also loved the Windows on the World Restaurant and ate there several times. I will never forget that day it went down.

I did something recently about the 9/11 that helped out a friend....It was small, but it was something...

At the NY Giants game last week in the Meadowlands, they brought in a huge steel girder that is going into the new World Trade Center. Anyone at the game, that wanted to donate a few dollars to a cause that supports the family's left behind, could sign their name on the steel girder.

A guy that works for me lost a cousin on that day, as he worked in the WTC. They were close, and he talked about it for a while. So last week, I signed his cousins name on the girder, took a picture of his name on the steel girder as well as some other shots, and emailed him the pictures. I also gave him the commerative Pen (which they let me keep). He in turn gave all that to the family.
