Title A name given to the resource Service Employees International Union Stories Description An account of the resource Among the thousands directly affected by the attacks were members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) who worked at or near the World Trade Center and Pentagon as janitors, porters, security guards, public employees, building engineers, emergency medical technicians, and firefighters. In the days and weeks that followed the tragedy, several recounted their stories -- how they escaped the buildings, how they helped others to safety, and how they struggle with grief, emotional difficulties, and financial hardship. This collection contains more than fifty of these stories. SEIU Story SEIU Story: Story A BETTER HOME <P> This battle is not a war to be won by human haste. This battle is not our race. God, has already stated this case. Our Deliverer, and Creator, Our Lord and Savior, He will see us through. <P>In days to come people will wonder, where was God, and why? why? why? Fear not. For it was not created inside of you. God, is the one who controls our day, time, and hour. <P>Earth was never meant to be our permanent home, it's just a stepping stone. For God, has provided a better home, a mansion in the sky, taller than the Twin Towers. <P>Lives were lost, but spirits were called home. Spirit does not cease, when the heart no longer beats. <P>Celebrate, and not mourn. At the breaking of dawn, a new life was born. Spirits were set free, they were called home. To prepare for the battle that will be won. Putting our enemies under God's feet. <P>Dry your tears and cast aside your fears, you're not alone. Our loved ones are patiently waiting to welcome us home.
