911DA Story: Story
I had jut begun m day as a City of Milwaukee Parking Enforcement Officer. I was in the process of issuing my first citation, when a man shouted, "How can you give us a ticket when they just attacked the World Trade Center again". I immediatly turn on my radio and tuned in. Hearing the news, I couldn't believe my ears. I then called everyone I knew in Milwaukee, Chicago and New York. My New York friends who worked in the Trade Center were ok. Just arriving to work 115 floors below, in the mall basement, they immediatly left the area and headed towards China Town. Everyone else was okay too.
The day was full of both grief, awe, and hate. My first stop during every New York was a trip to the top of The World Trade Center. It was a view that could never be duplicated anywhere else. I will miss that view, the ride to the top and those who perished. It was ans still is like loosing a dear dear friend and family member. I hope in time that the buildings will be replaced exactly as they once proudly stood. Both as a sign of stregenth, defiance and as a living Memorial to all those who perished 11, September, 2001. That would be a true fitting memorial. Let those who perished and were never recovered, guide and protect the New World Trade Center.
For through recovery, their names, lives and memories will live on. Everyone died a little bit on 11, September, 2001. Now we need to move on and rebuild and remember!
