I thought that I had not forgotten, but after watching this DVD on the sixth year anniversary of that tragic day, I realized that I forgot the feelings that I felt that day and the weeks following. This film is amazing, but at the same time paralyzing.

Originally this film was supposed to be a documentary about a probie/rookie firefighter named Tony, but it became so much more. This documentary is very real and at times hard to watch. Especially when you can hear bodies and debris falling to the ground. And then the sound of the floors letting go -- collapsing one after the other. It's a miracle that some of these guys made it out alive. However Fr. Mychal Judge (also known as "Chaplain") did not make it.

Fr. Mychal was featured in a documentary entitled "Saint of 9/11". His body was carried out by these firemen and laid in St. Peters Church upon the altar. In both films Father Mychal is seen in the lobby of the first tower praying continuously. You couldn't hear him, but you could see him mouthing prayers as deep concern took over his facial expression. He was a man of great faith and he helped so many people. And God may not have answered all of his prayers that day, but every firefighter from Engine 7, Ladder 1 made it back to the station alive.

This film is a must see! This is not a movie for children. It is real. You are there. You will be overcome with emotions as if time were frozen on this day which took place just six years ago. Jules and Gedeon Naudet, two brother filmmakers, have preserved this footage so that we may never forget this day. So that we may never forget how we felt that September morning. Both Jules and Gedeon survived which is a miracle in of itself. When you see the footage you will agree.

Each year, in honor of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, I reflect back on and pray. I pray for their families. I pray for those who lost friends. I pray for those who have forgotten. And I pray for those who would do such a horrible act. God bless America. And God Bless our men and women serving our country. Amen †
