Remembering 9-11 Our Firefighters and Heroes



Donated by:Barbra Wineman Scognamiglio- a friend from Waterbury, Connecticut where I grew up as a child.
• Marsha, thanks for the opportunity......I fondly remember my cousin David as being a jokester, always full of life and a lot of fun. He was born in Freeport LI and always wanted to be a firefighter. He spent countless hours in the fire station there, making friends with everyone. He became one of the elite Rescue 1 firemen; he was honored by the Mayor for rescuing a man whose car went of the road and into the Hudson River, diving into the river to save him. And as ironic as it was, the man was a friend of my Aunt Elaine’s. He had massive arms, covered in tattoos, his looks were rough and tough but he was gentle and loving. He was truly a hero, my personal hero of 9/11...nothing was ever found of him, but I am confident that he made it to heaven and is watching over everyone who loved him!

This touched my heart so much that I had to share, special thanks to Barbra for this unique contribution. To the wonderful firefighters who lost their lives in vain, we salute you and dedicate this post to David on behalf of all of them.

Dear Friends,
I hope you are all well and have a wonderful school year. I am writing to
tell you that we are beginning our peace project for the year.

We invite our friends from around the world to participate in our project by
writing about peace at your school, towns, city or countries. Since I am
also the project director of the GVC Clubhouse there two ways in which you
can send project. If you use the clubhouse wiki then please:

http://gvc-clubhouse.wikispaces.com/peace

Go to New Page and create a page called Peace - and add your school's name
or organization. TAG the page: peace, and it will appear on the wiki menu.
OR send your text, images or videos to marsha@gsbi.org to post on the Global
Dreamers website Peace 2011-project. See Peace Archive
We are sharing our work with the Global Virtual Classroom and hope to have a
great collaboration with all of the wonderful educators and kids from around
the world.

Please join us. Wishing everyone a great year and looking forward to hearing
from all of you,.

Sincerely,

Marsha Goren
