My uncle is the Director of Security for the Marriott World Trade Center. He is retired (at age 42) from the NYPD.

In 1993, he watched all four walls, the ceiling and the floor blow up with him in the middle of his office.

He escaped and actually helped catch the *******s who devistated his second home.

On 9-11 he was driving to work and was on the Brooklyn Bridge. He called his boss, who told him to go home, because he wouldn't be able to even get to WTC. Instead, he went to his precinct.

Say a prayer for his NYPD partner's family. Jim Corrigan was NYPD. When they were young on the beat, they thought they were unstoppable. Jim decided to join the NYFD. Eventually he was a captain. Eventually he left to become in charge of Fire at WTC 1. He heroically died doing what he loved, helping those who loved him.

God Bless All of you and God Bless the USA.
