Richard was one the first who braved his emotions to tell his story after the 9/11 attacks, and with his willingness to come forward, he spurred many others to share their narratives on the day that changed not only America, but the world. Richard passed suddenly on Feb 10, 2016 :( I am sure, Richard, for all the contributions you have done, you've accumulated more than enough good to be up there with her. RIP.

i got chills when he said "i will see you again" what a great story

[@hillaryteapartyy]

I have absolutely no personal connection to 9/11 yet my heart still aches for the lives we lost that day. I was 10. I don't want to make this about me at all, because this breaks my heart. but what broke my heart the most was when my father, a man who was a tough, 6'3 guy cry out to my mom, "oh my God Bridgette, they were leaping out of the towers". I was so young, so of course I didn't comprehend it. But even now, at 25 years old I still can't comprehend it. This just makes my heart break into a million pieces. I've heard interviews from him before, and his strength truly does amaze me. Having closure and learning exactly how his poor fiance was killed gave him peace and closure. Rest easy. Never forgotten.

[@hillaryteapartyy]

And remember -- no matter what you believe regarding 9/11, whether if its an inside job, or 19 hijackers: almost 3,000 people died that day. The loss of life is incomprehensible. Do your research respectfully. Some of the victim's loved ones demand answers, while others are content with the answers given to us. I research 9/11 for a very important reason: thousands of people were murdered and I want to know who executed them.
