WHERE WERE YOU ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001?
My Beloved Husband Dick (Richard A. Carello) and I were at Kaiser at 6:00 A.M.
meeting with the top Oncologist who just informed us that Dick
had less than a month to live due to stage four lung cancer!
After processing this devastating news, Dick and I went to the Kaiser lab for blood work,
where we were in disbelief to witness the 9/11 tragedy
that was airing on all local television channels!
The World Was Paralyzed By Fear!
Terrorists had crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the northern facade
of the World Trade Center North Tower
and terrorists had crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the southern facade
of the World Trade Center South Tower!
My Friends Jerry Vicenti, President, Italian Paisans Club
And His Lovely Wife Annette Vicenti Will Never Forget Their Memories Of 9/11!
The horrific images of 9/11 that chilly morning in New York City, sent shock waves around the World!
Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives that tragic day!
Countless more lives would have been lost if it not been for the brave and selfless
police officers, fire-fighters and unheralded others!
Rick Rescorla, Unsung Hero Of 9/11!
An Ex Army Veteran, A Security Director At Morgan Stanley Who Saved Almost 2700 Lives!
Over 300 rescue dogs contributed to the rescue and recovery of survivors around Ground Zero!
These courageous rescue dogs used their incredible noses to locate survivors
while dodging fallen debris, twisted metal, ash, enduring bloodied paws and sleepless nights!
The rescue dogs were a beacon of HOPE to the survivors!
Bretagne, the last Ground Zero rescue dog, passed away just shy of her 17th Birthday on June 6, 2016!
Bretagne’s handler and best friend Denise Corliss was with her to the end!
Representatives of the Texas Task Force, Cy-Fair Fire Department Volunteers and countless fans of Bretagne
lined the streets to salute her for the very last time as she entered and left
the Fairfield Animal Hospital in Cypress, Texas!
