and police. As we walked, they whispered "the dogs are here, they'll find them." ; it was a humbling experience. Once on the pile, I felt both inadequate and overwhelmed at what lay before me. As the volunteers poured in, I was proud to see the American spirit I thought was long forgotten. As I lay down to rest the first night, my faith gave me strength to continue the arduous take before me. As American flags began to fly everywhere I looked, I learned the meaning of being patriotic.

Healing the invisible wounds of trauma

"Healing the invisible wounds of trauma."~The Aldermans

Our youngest child Peter was murdered on September 11, 2001 while attending a conference at Windows on the World at the World Trade Center. Shortly after he was killed, we learned that one billion people have directly experienced torture, terrorism or mass violence, and that 50 to 70 percent of survivors suffer from incapacitating traumatic depression and PTSD. There was nothing we could do for Pete [but] if we cold help those victims then that was the perfect memorial to honor Pete. The mission of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation (PCAF) is to heal the invisible wounds of trauma. PCAF not only trains indigenous to heal traumatic depression and PTSD in their war-affected countrymen, but also operates mental health care facilities in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. To date, PCAF has trained more than 1,000 mental health professional from 22 countries and has treated more than 100,000 victims.

A family lost a family member that day along with many others. Knowing they could do nothing to help Pete other than honor him they decided to help the survivors who suffer from mental issues from the attack. They made the Peter C. Alderman Foundation (PCAF) to help those all over the world find peace after trauma. They where healing invisible woulds in honor of their son. They kept his memories alive by making a foundation to honor him and save others. 

Forget the bad, remember the good

 

"Forget the bad, remember the good."~L.R.

I was only a one year old when the attack came that kill many and hurt many and torn apart the hearts of America. But when I grew up I used to talk to my neighbor and come over and he would tell me stories. One day on September 12th of 2006 I asked him what happened on September 11th, 2001 that makes him put of his flag that he said was for his wife. He sat me down and told me that on 9/11/01 a plane was taken and flew into the World Trade Center, he said his wife was on that plane to visit family. He got a call the next day telling him the WTC came down. Couple days later he went down there to get his wife's things. He said they handed him a flag in her honor. She had gone to see family and never came back. He honors her by putting up the flag ever year and he told me she always said "Forget the bad, remember the good, and cherish the special." He told me that when he got the call he thought of her saying. He told me when you lose something do not think of the bad, remember all the good times and cherish those special moments. Let go of the bad and embrace the good and bury the pain and lost feeling and uplift the good memories and find that special place.

On that day life changed for me. When my neighbor pasted I still held onto the good and remembered all the stories and every year I got to his place and put up the flag on 9/11 and I buried the pain when he passed and I smiled when I think about all the fun I had with him and I hold the date 9/11 close to my heart and every year honor the men and women who lost someone or became lost.

Each and every time we honor a 9/11 hero we do it with love and compassion because each hero deserves it along with their families. Each man and/or women that died and/or risked their life to save others deserve more than just a book but they deserve our love, compassion, hope, and care. People all over has been affected by 9/11 so we need to pass on our hears to everyone around the world and forgive. Do not live on with anger or lost hope, love and forget. Remember the love, the good times, the person, but never how they died. The dead should be honored. Do not cry about their death. Celebrate their life!
