Brad Burlingame, whose brother, Captain Charles Burlingame III, lost his life as the pilot of American Airlines flight 77 when it was hijacked and flown into the U.S. Pentagon.
Sergeant Neil Duncan, who, while in the service of his country, lost both of his legs in 2005 when an IED ripped through his humvee in Afghanistan. His resilience and drive is shown here, as he stands and gives his speech. The standing ovation he received still touches me…
My son, wife and dad walked with me on this day… A day that is best spent with friends, family and community to remember 9/11 together and to honor those who, past or present, fight for our freedom.
