OUT OF MIND It comes ‘round again Another calendar year Seems many have forgotten, Or choose to forget, how we ended up here. And there are fewer memorials There are fewer who pause to find Just a moment to remember those lost Please don’t let them be out of mind Seems no one wants to talk of it They say to just move on Do they really not care, does it mean nothing to them That so many lives are gone? Just a small acknowledgement Should not be too much to ask For mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers Is seven years that long in the past? Is it already buried in history As the lives buried under the ruins That they could not carry away fast enough And lose in Fresh Kills under a blood red moon And there are fewer ribbons, fewer signs of memory Fewer ordinary people who pause a moment to find Time to remember all those we lost Please don’t let them be out of mind. That Tuesday morn’ is still fresh in my nightmares As real as my yesterday And the long weeks it took to find you Still walk into my thoughts and stay Tomorrow I will stand at attention I will listen to those mournful bells toll For each and every life they took Not just names dropped down a hole I will look around me at the families and friends Now gathered to remember those left behind We may be fewer in number, but we do not stand alone We’ll stand at attention, we’ll hear each name they speak We’ll take your memory back in our heart and then we’ll wander home And I will stop and honor each photo, each candle, each ribbon I will pause and take seven year’s worth of moments to find Each face I know from Septembers past And I know, I make this promise to you To never let you be out of mind

In Memory of Angel Juarbe, Jr, FDNY: 5/1/66 - 9/11/01, Fallen In The Line of Duty.To the lost brothers of Engine 3, Battalion 7,Ladder 12.Remember the heroes 9-11-01
Angel Juarbe Jr Michael Mullan Chief Orio Palmer
Lt Philip Petti Stephen Belson My name is Cade Duel Gullickson. In December I had a book of poetry published called "Somebody's Hero: Remembering 9-11-01." All royalties earned by the author are being donated to a FDNY charity called "Fallen Brothers," http://www.fallenbrothers.org. On this site, you will find links to on-line book stores that the book is available at, some poems that are included in the book, as well as articles and photos of Angel Juarbe Jr, one of the firefighters who was killed at the Towers that day, and some general articles and photos about 9-11-01.. This book is for anyone who lost someone on 9-11-01. It is also for anyone who felt the impact of that day on their lives. From the beginning, in the surreal hours following the attacks, continuing on through nearly two full years, the poems are written through “the eye” of many different people: the victims, the firefighters who fought to save all they could, the families and friends who lost someone, wives who lost husbands, parents who lost children, children who lost fathers and mothers, the firefighters and emergency workers who survived, the spirits of those lost, the World Trade Center herself among them. The emotions span the spectrum: disbelief, horror, stubborn denial, resignation, grief, acceptance, and, finally, a semblance of peace. It is this author’s testament to those lost that dark day and to those they left behind, to make a promise that we will never forget.
