– Carrie RogersI was at a memorial when I pulled Scott Larsen’s name and information from a box. Roger and Carol Whitford lost their son, Mark Whitford on 9/11. They have a 9/11 memorial open to all in their front yard. As a way to never forget their son and other heroes they hold a ceremony every year on 9/11. It struck me that I was a year older than Scott was when he fell. I wish he got to meet his fourth child. Thank you for your sacrifice Scott and the Larsen family.
