Teena in Toronto – Thank you again for stopping by.

Cathy – Gratitude doesn’t even begun to cover the outpouring of emotion that I feel for the heroes in New York, Washington DC and those who ended their lives in Shanksville.

Maggie’s MInd – Ed really does seem to be the kind of person who touched everyone’s lives and gave his all. His story has inspired me to do more whenever I can.

Wow. Helping people to the very end. I am so touched by this tribute. His wife really must miss him so much. Sounds like she’d found a good, good man who was fun but also so kind. Thank you for writing this.

Bec, I agree- I took the attack personally as well. Thank you for sharing Ed’s story. There were so many heroes that day– so many that can never be thanked, but we will always be eternally grateful.

Paul Johns – I don’t know about the rest of the county but it felt personal. Within the numbers who died there were 67 British victims, and people from more than 40 other nations died. They didn’t just attack the US they attacked all of us. We all became brothers and sisters in grief that day.

Dustin Emery – I was just replying to the last comment you left when this popped through.

I wrote this piece as Ed’s tribute was entrusted to me in 2006 when the first Project 2996 took place. This project memorialises the awful events of 9/11 by remembering not the way the victims died but instead the way they lived.

Whilst researching the piece I found so many mentions of Ed as a man who seemed to change people’s lives for the better wherever he went.

It was a real honour finding out about this wonderful man, and I will do my bit to make sure he is never forgotten by reposting this as long as I am able.

Ed was my oldest cousin. I am the youngest of the Emery cousins. We did not know each other well seeing that he lived so far away and that he was 20 years my senior. But I do remember everyone in the family being so proud of him for moving to the city and being so successful. The last I saw Ed was at our grandfather’s funeral several years before 9/11. It makes me honored to know what he did that day and to know what kind of man he was.

That’s a very sweet post.

You know, I remember in 2001 when the attack happened, I was really moved by how other countries really seemed to sympathize with the US. I remember seeing news footage of people in the UK crying and stuff, which was interesting because I didn’t even cry. After that I felt closer to British/English people. You guys are sweet.
