Seven years ago, almost 3,000 people lost their lives on a beautiful fall day. Never forget.

Rick and his security team would lose their lives by going back into the South Tower after evacuating the 2,500 employees entrusted into their care. No greater love...

Father Judge was there with his beloved firefighters when the South Tower collapsed. His death is considered the first fatality, as some say, so he could be there to guide others Heavenward.
