Hermosa Beach 9-11 Wreath Laying Ceremony

“I remember so much paper everywhere, all of it important at one time, but not anymore. I remember big, tough New York firefighters and cops, hugging each other crying, unable to believe that they were alive, and unable to believe that so many others were not. -- Manhattan Beach Fire Captain Tim O’Brien recalling rescue efforts at the World Trade Center following September 11, 2001.
