September 9, 201610 yr With the 15th anniversary just two days away, I thought this was a powerful read... 9/11 Kids Have a Message to Terrorists Their fathers were killed on 9/11, and 15 years later they carry a message: Look at us, more resilient than ever. To the terrorists, they say, "You lose." "We're still here," says Patrick Hannaford, who was 2 years old when his father, Kevin Hannaford, 32, was killed on the 105th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower, where he worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. "We've rebuilt, and we're stronger now than we were then. It's just a good feeling to know they failed." "All of us are sitting here -- successful, intelligent," says Jessica Waring, 29, who lost her father, James Waring, 49, on the second day of her freshman year of high school. "The fact that we could rise above it shows the type of people we are. Al Qaeda and now ISIS, they're not going to beat us."
