Prayers and thoughts go out to Gary and his family. I grew up in Roosevelt was a good friend of Gary's and knew Brian and his sister Terry as kids growing up. I also knew their mother and father. I haven't been in touch with Gary in quite a while but my heart goes out to you and the whole family. I live in San Jose, California now. Condolences from my family to yours.

We grew up on the same block, Mirin Ave in Roosevelt, L.I. where my brothers and sisters and I use to play with Brian and his brother and sister. He was always the "little gentleman" with a tough exterior, but a warm and kind heart. It was no surprise he served in the Marine Corp. But the surprise was hearing he was killed in the World Trade Center (was told by my daughters who also grew up on Mirin Ave and had a friend who died as well). Growing up there was a place where danger and death never touched our world. My heart goes out to Brother Gary, Sister Terry and his Parents. He was a part of my perfect world, forever living in my heart. Rest well Brian, you served your country well.
Blessings,
Patricia McNeill Shelton

I knew Brian from when I was young growning up in the same neighborhood in Roosevelt, N.Y. I was saddened to know that someone I knew personally lost their life on 9/11. It has been many years since I last saw Brian. My deepest sympathy goes out to the jones family. Peace and blessings.

I knew Brian while serving in the Marine Corps with him in Kansas City, MO 1983-1985. Brian and I were both active duty Marines working as computer data control technicians. Our most improtant duty while working in KC was to run payroll for the entire Marine Corps (active, reserve and retired)! Brian was always the type of person to brighten your day even when the days seemed like they would never end! He had a way of always being positive about life. I discovered Brian was one of the World Trade Center victims more than 6 months after the disaster while reading the Marine Corps Retired newsletter. Brian was listed in the TAPS section. Semper Fi Brian...

Post your memorial thoughts:
Share your feelings and memories of grief and
sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories. If you knew this
person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with
us something about his/her life:
what kind of person he/she was,
what nice points you remember about him/her,
what kind of relationship you had with him/her,
what you two perhaps did together,
what he/she meant to you,
or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging
for other people.
This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.
Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!
9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner.
Thank you for your understanding in these matters.

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!
