I will keep a picture of you on my desk to remember what you gave for your country. I serve my country with that as my reminder of why we do what we do. Thank you, Mr. Cain, for the ultimate sacrifice you made. God Bless your loved ones and the hearts you touched.
Even though you are gone, you are still at work here, I will let you live thru my office as I serve and remember you each year on this day.
Wow! Ron was my brother. I miss him every day.... I have nothing but fond memories of Ron. I really miss his wife Jacki and their two kids, too. We will see each other again!

I was reading some of your letters to your brother, and my heart just cried for you.... I don't know if I ever met you, but I am Ron Calabro's wife. So many times I wanted to write you and just didn't know how, and I know Ron did try to get in touch with Debbie, but I suppose she was too devastated to reply.... I totally understand.... We did hear from Jack Murphy, and he told us that Debbie was very distraught, so we left it alone....
I wanted to tell you that I loved Joe—he was so nice to me—and saw him at Jack Murphy's house a lot down in the city. He was a very funny guy ... always made me laugh, and such a nice disposition about him, and he showed so much love for my son Ronny.... Unfortunately, we didn't keep in touch that much because of my son being born.... But I just wanted to tell you what a great guy I thought he was....
Every 9/11 I make sure I watch the TV to hear Joe's name being announced, and when I hear it I think, "My god what a tragedy!" 9/11 should have never happened, and to this day I cannot understand why that all happened.... To me it was like a nightmare....
Reading some of your letters, I thought that you are a very lucky girl to have had a brother like Joe and a mother and father that loved you so much.... You all seemed to be a very close family.... Again, you are truly blessed....
Right after 9-11 happened I had a dream about Joe, and I never forgot it. And I wanted to tell Debbie but didn't know how.... It was a very vivid dream: I was sitting on a bench on the bottom of the destruction and debris of the twin towers and looking up at it and felt so sad and had my head down and I heard my name being called, "Mary Ellen." I turned around and saw Joe in a white suit with all of these people walking around him ... almost like the people didn't know where they were going and were in a daze. I said to your Joe, "I am so sorry about what happened." And I was crying, and he said to me, "Mary Ellen, I am happy. Don't cry, and please tell my family that I am so happy...." And he turned and walked away thru the crowd—but knew where he was going.... He looked very happy, and I wanted to tell you this for a long time but didn't know how.... So I am thinking that I hope you don't think I am crazy. I just thought and knew one day I would be able to tell you or Debbie.... Hope this makes you feel good because he was so happy in my dream.
Please know that I always will remember Joe and will never forget him. I want you to know I never did, and he has always been in the back of my mind because he truly was a wonderful soul.... I remember his smile, too, sort of shy and would look down ... but then look up with another smile....
I wish you much happiness, and remember, Joe is happy.... Love to you and your whole family ... and please let me know about Debbie.
Love always,
Mary Ellen

Hello. My name is Annie. I will be running the race on Sunday, September 5th, 2010. The race is called 9-11 run to remember in NYC. I will be wearing a bib with the name John Charles Jenkins. It was picked for me by the computer, and it's funny because I wanted to run for the victims of flight 11. Please contact me. It would be nice to see his family at the race. I am sorry for your loss; god bless.
I have wanted to do this for such a long time but find it so hard to express in words my feelings, so I hope people reading might be able to forgive me if it's needed.
I don't know why, but whenever I think of 9/11, I always think of Kevin Cosgrove and his family and think of the word "brave," even though there were many more beautiful souls lost on that tragic day. I have even sat and cried a really deep hearty cry a few times about Kevin and 9/11 in general. It's amazing that even though we don't know people as friends, etc., that we can still be so moved and touched.
Of course, I've watched the telephone call, like lots of people, and just cannot believe it is right there happening to Kevin. It really hurts me bad to the core of my existence. I know how bad my feelings are, but it's still nothing to what Kevin went through and what his family go through day by day. One of my prayers now and then is that it was just a bad dream Kevin was having, but that he woke within seconds to find he was going to be okay and safe in god's hands. I have to keep telling myself this because I feel so much pain for Kevin and his family, and of course the many others in the world that were involved, both victims and families.
I have a friend that goes to New York a lot, and he said he had been to the place where it happened, and as he told me, I thought of Kevin Cosgrove because that made me see it was not a made-up story—it really happened—and that the streets my friend walks down in New York would be the streets Kevin walked down. Because of this, Kevin, it's a comfort, and it brings us close together. Our lives really touch, and I feel I really know you. I can place you and your family in my heart for the whole of eternity.
I can, like many, live in hope that things might someday make sense to me also, on the other side of the fence. God bless you and your family always, and God bless America.
With all my love,

Thank you, Rick, for every step you ever took for the love of life and love of freedom. I regret that I have only come to know your story in the last few months of 2010. However, I thank God I found your story. I salute you and your family and thank you for showing us what patriotism and sacrifice is all about! SALUTE! Rest well, my friend!
This web site is affiliated with 24K Gold Music Shows - an oldies music showband performing in Central Florida. The members of the showband feel strongly that there were many heroes manifested during the onslaught of terror associated with 9-11, and present this site as a memorial to those whose lives were lost, and the loved ones they left behind.
24K Gold Music Shows perform primarily 50-60s Oldies, Elvis songs, DooWop, and older country music, as well as patriotic songs. All of the musicians, singers, dancers, and staff of the 24K Gold Music Shows extend their deepest sympathies to every one who lost loved ones on that terrible day.
24K Gold Music Shows performs an original song called "The Day America Cried", which is a 9-11 tribute song. In the live shows, they honor with the song not only the heroes of 9-11 but also those who are still alive: the police personnel, firefighters, emergency personnel, soldiers, and others who have served our country and kept us all safe.
Listen also to this beautiful, touching song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by 24K Gold Music Shows. Even though strictly speaking it's not a 9-11 memorial song, I still feel it is a very fitting song for the occasion!
