Ave Maria!
The Airmaria crew were so blessed to be in NYC for a few days around the Sixth Anniversay of the 9/11 terrorist attack, covering a story about the Statue of Our Lady of America, which was enthroned in St Peter's Church, on Chapel St.
Just a few blocks down the street, at the WTC Path subway station, which is situated right in front of ground zero, friar Roderic, our Roving Reporter, met Kevin Calhoun, of the New York City Fire Dept, and shot this touching interview.
This is what 9/11 is all about. It's not about the destruction, it's not about the devastation, it's not about the new tower... it's about people, it's about heroes, it's about love - it' about the "Heart of America".
Ave Maria!
Thank you.
Very touching. 26 fireman from our local firehouse lost their lives that day. Many had worshipped at our parish. My pastor had a brother missing for 3 days. We had a Memorial Service the next day. I read off the names of the missing firemen. It was very emotional for us. A deep haze and soot was in the air for many days. Everyone knew somebody who was lost. Now I live, retired, in Florida, but will never forget 9/11/01.
You never want to forget the tregedy that happened on 9/11. As we go about our own daily routine 6 years later, it is comforting to know that people still care, that people still pray for the victims of this malicious act done by the jihadists. Thank you very much FFI for letting us be there with you, it was beautiful to hear the prayers of God and Our Lady being said at Ground Zero.
Ave Maria
Too much to comment. God Bless you all.
Well done.
Good to see God at the center of it all. Need more coverage like this.
Ave Maria
