Empire State of Mind (Part II) 9/11 Tribute

This is very touching! Watch the firefighters be moved to tears by these kids!

For the 10th anniversary of 9/11, State Farm partnered with Spike Lee for this touching tribute. (This pic was taken at a funeral not at kid's performance)

I didnt want to post any pictures of the damages because for some of us, its traumatic. I was in high school, in science class when it happened. I remember the loudspeaker coming on and saying that we were on high alert and no one was to leave or enter the schools. The principal explained that their had been a possible terrorist attack in NY and (later on we found out DC). The teacher flicked on the news and we watched in horror as they repeated the footage of the plane hitting the building over and over again. When the building collasped, it gave me nightmares of all those people who were probably fighting to get out and never made it home that night.

Minutes later, parents were demanding for their kids to be released. One parent stormed over to the Principal and over the loudspeaker demanded that her child get her @$$ to the office NOW! lol! I remember my mom arriving to pick me up and hugged me and my brother so tight! My dad, a police officer, was gone when I got there. He had been called in to duty. The next day, the newspapers showed the devasting photos. People covered in soot, jumping from windows desperate to get home, and the crying spouses, sisters, moms, brothers, aunts and uncles clinging to photos of their loved ones that were nowhere to be found.

Where were you??

Peace and blessings to those families and our heroes :)
