Yes I see the heroes and their heroic deeds forever in my minds eye. I also see the ruthless, in-humane perpetrators of this horror. I see they have not stopped planning and wanting to see the West particularly the United States squashed like a bug. With the right leaders in will there come a day when they will rule and reign or a day when there are not any left to be heroes? It is not out of fear that I write but evidence during the last 50 years. That is my present political stance total.

I think there was another disabled person who piggybacked on a co-worker
down several flights of stairs to safety...(a co-worker or a fireman)...

I remember hearing the story of the two men who helped their
co-worker, who was wheelchair bound, down the stairs and to safety from the burning tower.
All three of them made it out alive.

Defenceless under the night
our world in a stupor lies
Yet everywhere ironic points of light
flash out wherever the just
exchange their messages.
May I, composed like them
of Eros and of dust,
beleaguered by the same
negation and despair,
show an affirming flame.

Your post is a better light on the tragedy of 9-11-01. Thanks for reminding
us that good things, human kindness, was right there as accompaniment to the distress.

You know the saying… “Unremarkable people can do remarkable things”. And it’s so very true. There is a hero within all of us and it unfortunately takes a crisis or an unthinkable event to awaken the hero that lies within.

TAPS, I want to say thank you for your comment and information about Mr. Andersen. I will continue the book with even more weariness than when I started it. I must say, the man was totally unknown to me, but as I said, this was the only English language book in the Turkish supermarket that even faintly attracted my attention and it turns out that I am learning something from it, if not about Mrs. Clinton then about Mr. Andersen.
