On September 10, 2011, the day before the 10th Anniversary of September 11, I went to the web site, http://www.911memorial.org/ There I was given my hero, my person to remember.
This is Brian Gerard McAleese. He was a mere 36 years old when he died on 9/11/2001. He perished in the South Tower on that horrible day. His name was given to me by random selection. He was quite an amazing person. One of 5 siblings. One brother is in the NYPD, another in the FDNY, just like he was and their father. He left behind 4 young children and a grieving widow.
It is hard, very hard to write.. In fact, it has been over a year since I last read this post, it was just a draft, never posted. But I must finish.. he deserves it.
His picture sits on book case at work. I see the above picture every day.
What can you say??? Thank you Brian..a thousand times over. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
