September 11, 2001. We Will Never Forget.
We Will Never Forget… You.
24 Years. Still, our hearts ache.
“My father, Norberto, was a pastry chef at Windows on the World in Tower One. For 10 years, he made many fancy and famous desserts, but the sweetest dessert he made was the marble cake he made for us at home. … Whenever we parted, Poppi would say, ‘Te amo. Vaya con Dios.’ And this morning, I want to say the same thing to you, Poppi. I love you. Go with God.”
Catherine Hernandez comments at the World Trade Center site in 2008
Editor’s Note: Twenty-four years ago our people pulled together to face our collective tragedy. We knew who our enemy was and we were united in our patriotism. Patriotism is not measured in GDP, violent acts in the name of patriotism, skewed votes, abuses of power, SCOTUS votes... it is the measure of our country's "heart." Indeed, we must never forget.
