343 fire fighters died on 9.11 - Please meet Henry
Firefighter Henry A. Miller Jr. had a lot to look forward to in his life. A longtime Massapequa resident and cancer survivor, he was to celebrate his 53rd birthday and seventh wedding anniversary with relatives and friends in October 2001. After 28 years of service with downtown Brooklyn's Ladder 105, Miller was also considering retirement from the position he knew and loved, finally yielding to repeated requests from his concerned wife.
But Miller was right across the bridge from the World Trade Center that fateful morning and, just as he did after the terrorist trade center bombing in 1993, drove one of the company's hook and ladder trucks to be with his colleagues among the first emergency personnel at the scene.
Miller never returned and is officially listed among the missing in 9/11 attack.
His relatives and friends want to remember him as the gentle and jovial fellow he was, a bulky man who loved the sea, surfing and scuba diving, but who mostly saw himself as a firefighter, always willing and ready to help.
Miller, whose father retired as a 38-year veteran of the department, had been injured in the line of duty before, including the time when he suffered serious smoke inhalation trying to rescue people after the 1993 bombing.
Miller was born in New York City and grew up in the Rosedale section of Queens. Although he started studies to become an accountant at Manhattan's City College, he soon decided he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a firefighter.
He was of composed character, rarely raising his voice or losing his temper about anything, relatives and friends said, a trait that fit well with his devotion to help those in need.
But he was also a fun-loving Irishman who knew where to get the best pizza on Long Island and in New York City, and who loved practical jokes.
When Miller was diagnosed with cancer about eight years previous to his deah, he kept going with his work and life, eventually beating the disease.
...
More than once, Miller had the opportunity to retire but couldn't see himself not helping people....

If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
God Bless You xx

Why? - by Unknown Author
Grief and sorrow struck this nation
In an unexplainable way
Leaving us surrounded by tears and sorrow
And only one thing to left say
WHY?
Why did this have to happen?
What did we do that was so wrong?
Why did you have to take our loved ones?
How do we replace what is gone?
But we will not go quietly
We will stand up and fight
United we will stand together
For what is true, for what is right
Hero’s rose out of the ashes
To save a life we thought was lost
Never thinking of what might happen
Never caring what the cost
They didn’t do it for the glory
They didn’t do it for the fame
They only did what they knew was right
They are our hero’s that have no name
United we can build a better tomorrow
Let us finish what they began to start
Let us say a prayer for them together
And keep them close in our heart
A poem by anonymous visitor

Let us feel your warm embrace ☆

Surrounding us from above ☆

To those who went up and did their jobs,
Our hearts will mourn, and we will weep.
To save those lives, you gave your all,
And on this day, 9/11, we shall always recall.
Once stood the World Trade Centre, so proud and tall,
And as those free world icons began to fall,
The nation and the world watched the towers in shock,
But we will again unite, and become a mighty rock.
With tears, horror and disbelief,
The greatest of anger and a heart full of grief.
Terrorists left America, "The Big Apple" - New York,
In hours of silence, unable to talk.
We will never forget and we never should,
Those skies are now empty, and rebuild, yes we could.
But to those who died and were taken that day
Our deepest respects and thanks are what now we should say.
To the land of the free,
And the home of the brave,
You did the most,
And your "Best" you gave.
Angels shed a tear, as they took you that day,
To heaven, and God, for you to now rest and lay,
You died in the service of a noble calling,
To the towers that fell, and the heroes that have fallen...
"You are gone from our touch, but never our hearts,
Gone from our sight, but never our memories"...
Rest in Peace, we will honour and remember you always
ALWAYS REMEMBERED XXX
GOD BLESS YOU ANGEL THINKING OF YOU TODAY AND ALL YOUR LOVING FAMILY LOVE FROM CHRISTINE ROBERT AND FAMILY XXXXX
