On this fifth year reflection of that awful day, I thought it was time to add an entry. Although a first cousin of your father, it was a couple of years after the fact that I learned you were among the victims in the WTC. Looks like we need to do more than send out Christmas letters.

Read the NYTimes story and was back on the web site when I saw your folks were going to be on Ellen. Glad I recorded to watch later. The show needed a great deal more of your family's story and a great deal less of Jessica Simpson! To read the entries on this message board is moving and the impact that you are continuing to have is remarkable. How great is it that someone searched out your flag at a memorial?

We must never forget that day. Your life was over too soon.
