A true Hero. God Bless

Don is my brother-in-law. It has been 7 years since that tragic day. Every day Don is in our thoughts. We all miss him. Don enjoyed life to his fullest. He loved the fire department. He was blessed having a job that was his second love only after his loving wife, Betty. Betty, our thoughts and prayers are with you every day.

I got a FDNY plaque from a friend, and chief Donald Burns' name was on the back. I am a native New Yorker living in North Carolina and offer my prayers and blessings to all victims of the cowardly attack on my city and my brothers and families of the FDNY and victims of WTC. Never forget the first responders who put it all on the line every time the alarm sounds. God bless America.

We were classmates; Power Memorial Academy 1957. He was a quiet, unassuming kind of guy. We were friends but I lost track of him for many years until I saw his picture in the paper a year before the attack. I recognized him immediately; the face was still the same. He will be remembered on March 12 at the Power Memorrial Memorial Mass that will  be celebrated at the church of St. Paul the Apostle on Columbus Avenue between 59th and 60th Streets.

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. We are maintaining this site with our own money and time. We try to keep the advertisements to a minimum and we try to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The revenue goes back to maintaining this site.

Thank you for your understanding in these matters.
