01:49We are really angry. We aren't sad, tragedy anymore. It's angry. Why don't we know what happened? Why don't we know what's going on?
02:01Her son made the ultimate sacrifice so young.
02:05So young. So young.
02:07Yeah, he was only in the Army eight months when he was sent to his first deployment.
02:13He was only in Iraq eight weeks. So he only served ten months. So that was it.
02:19It was infantry. So yeah. So it's all connected. It's all connected.
02:23The war on terrorism, Iraq, Afghanistan, 9-11. And right now the world is brewing again.
02:31What's going to happen next? We got to go through this again?
02:35More lives lost. Again? I think so. More lives lost.
02:39The world has to relax. War has to stop. The hate has to stop.
02:45Look at this. This is unity. I have people from all over the world here. This is unity.
02:53So we have to love each other. We have to stop.
02:57I wish they wouldn't show the videos over and over again. But then it just brings back memories again.
03:10Because this whole week they've been showing videos on Facebook and YouTube with the plane crash.
03:27But it's a touching moment. Because if you didn't lose someone you loved there, it wouldn't hurt you as much.
03:33But when you lose a friend and a family member in the same building, it's such an end.
03:38Every time I come, I get deep emotional every time I come.
03:42That's why when they invite me to come on the tent, I don't come.
03:45I only would rather come on one day. I don't want to suffer so much.
03:48So it's really heartbreaking.
03:50I lost a cousin. His name is Juan Marrero. And I lost a port authority officer friend of mine who was my drill, my first sergeant in the military.
04:14Then me came a port authority, Sergeant McNeil, Walter McNeil. He perished here too.
04:19So I lost two people. That's why I got flags. I put on their names.
04:24I carry these little flags. Every year I bring flags and put on their names.
04:28And it seems like I'm the only one that does it. I don't know what's going on with the rest of the family members or friends of these guys.
04:34And every year I bring these flags and I put them on their names.
04:44They were warm and fun, fun to be with, you know, always cheerful and Walter, it was a great first, when he was in the military, he was a great first sergeant.
04:59We had a good time in the desert storm and he got out and joined the port authority and he only had like two years to go, but he was a good first sergeant, a good friend.
05:10My cousin was a warm heart, you know, he's great to be around with, a great family guy.
05:16So it's always touching when you see their names, you know, and I always try to come early so I have a moment by myself with them.
05:24Because when everybody gets here, you can't get next to their names and I like to have a moment with them, pray, and then I join my friends at the ceremony.
05:33So that's why I'm here early, but it's heartbreaking.
05:40I haven't stopped coming, I've been coming since day one, I get my invite, I come to day one, you know, they always send you a ticket here to come.
05:53They send you a letter first telling you the ticket's underway, and then I'll get choked, so I can get me choked up.
