– Mary McCauleyI knew exactly where I was on 9/11. I knew immediately the impact this was going to have. I had just got off active duty, had a beautiful baby boy who was 7 Months old…and I was scared to death. A dear friend of mine was as in NYC and trying desperately to reach her family. I was able to get them connected. All these years later and I still to this day tell the story of that day to both my sons. Today I was able to run the Tunnel to Towers for the first time here in Bluffton, SC. FF Robert Linnane LAD 20/343. You were with me. The entire run I kept thinking of what I was doing on that day and hoping that you could feel the love I was sending to you. Your bravery. Your craziness. Has not gone unnoticed and never will. So proud and grateful to have met you today. God Bless America!!
