WE REMEMBER!!

For the husband who phoned his wife to say I love you one last time before his plane crashed.

For the wife who stopped in the stairwell to call her husband and say I will love you forever.

For the parents who kissed their kids goodbye in the morning and died that day.

For the policemen who rushed in to help the firemen only to die themselves.

For the soldiers who have fought the battle ever since that day and lost their lives.

We remember them all today......
