> I humbly ask all of you, my (company) colleagues, to please keep approximately
> 200 NYC Fire Fighters in your prayers as they were the ones who were
> climbing the stairway in our tower to the upper floors as we were
> evacuating. I personally patted many of them on their shoulders as they
> passed by the two of us on the stairway, and I told each as I touched them
> that I loved them and that God would watch over them. These firefighters
> climbed the stairway in full uniform while carrying tanks on their backs
> and holding pick axes and other heavy tools which weighed them down
> significantly. I know that most of these soldiers perished as I had just
> spoken to them shortly before our WTC #1 Tower fell to the ground.

> I updated Mr. (company Owner) by phone not long after this tragedy. Suzanne and

> God Bless all of you.
