Never Forget

Topic: People whose story stood out, and why? Gary Smiley- He was a paramedic in New York at the time of 9/11 he stood out to me because he saved the lives of like 4 people just he knew it was the right thing to do, he did it despite the fact that he got hurt saving the first person. Lyzbeth Glick- She was married to one of the passengers that died on flight 93. She stood out to me because she had talked to her husband while he was on the plane after it had been hijacked and she gives a detailed account of the conversation. Jillian Volk- she was engaged to one of the men who died in 9/11. she stood out to me cause she isn't like most of the accounts that were given for people who died, she talks about her day before the attack than goes into it. Tim Cahill- He was a construction worker at Ground Zero. He stood out to me because his account is about the things they found at the site from people to electronics. At one point he talks about a lady he found in a pinstriped blue suite on the site. The last one is a Benjamin Garelick- He was a second grader at the time of 9/11 who witnessed the attack. he stood out to me because even though he was little he did something to help after 9/11 he raised money for one of the fire departments the responded to the call. His donation helped them to buy a new fire truck.
