A friend of mine was in the World Trade Center when the planes hit that awful September 11th, and tragically most of the people in his office heeded the announcement that the building was safe and they stayed where they were. My friend grabbed his briefcase and headed down those stairs and as he neared the bottom he saw some of those brave firefighters headed where he had just been. They were there to save lives, but my friend said, “I saw the same fear in their eyes that they must have seen in mine except I was going out and they were coming in.” And that’s what heroes do. |

September 11, 2001—Ground Zero—Genelle Guzman almost made it out before the towers collapsed—almost. In a matter of moments, most of her body was trapped under debris. She was sealed into this dust-filled tomb with dead victims all around her. She had been there for 28 hours when she said, “God, please don’t let me die. Please, save me.” About an hour later she heard sounds above her in the rubble and then a hand reaching through the rubble and grabbed her hand and said, “I’ve got you.” Genelle Guzman was the last person pulled out alive at Ground Zero. |

Like you probably, I will never forget where I was and what I was doing when I learned of the awful events of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center. I guess we’ve all got vivid memories. I mean the unbelievable sight of airliners crashing into the World Trade Center Towers and then that heart-rending collapse of those towers with all those lives inside. On the two-year anniversary I saw a T.V. special that interviewed survivors about their memories. One lady who worked for an investment company recalled this: She said, “I got out alive, but my friend who worked near me didn’t.” And then these tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, “I only wish I’d asked him to go with me.” |

It was about this time of year and I was ten years old—I was in the lake with my friends and I was going under because I didn’t know how to swim and I didn’t want to tell them. Well, a man came from the shore after I’d gone under the second time. He grabbed me and he saved me. That’s why I’m here today to talk to you. It was the second most dramatic rescue of my life. |

It starts the day you take your little son or daughter to kindergarten for the first time and leave them there. Oh man, they’re out of your sight, they’re out of your care, they’re beyond what you can control, and as every one of us parents knows, that is only the beginning—and the beginning of the butterflies we feel sending our kids out the door into a fairly scary world. |
