Today marks the 14th anniversary of the September 11th attacks in the USA, so I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread to remember Robert Eaton and all those who lost their lives that day, and to highlight the fantastic work that has been done in his name by all those involved with the REMF over the years.

Obviously this weekend is one of poignant remembrance for all of us after the Shoreham tragedy, but the response to both that and to the 9/11 attacks really does show me that NSC and the REMF really are and have been a force for good over the years - long may that remain so.

I hadn't actually realised it was today. Those years have gone quickly. I've probably said on here too many times before, but I lost 658 friends and colleagues that day, including Robert Eaton, and it still hurts when I think about it.

I had many friends in a building very close to the Towers who worked with at American Express I went over to visit them after and I saw Roberts name on a list and it made me cry. There is a wonderful memorial in the Amex headquarters Building a dripping tear very moving. I also visited the Fire Station who lost most of its firemen and women. Also the police lost many guys.
RIP Robert and the others that died. We won't forget.

A completely surreal day thay will live in my memory forever. I can remember everything about the day so vividly except the football game we played that evening which seemed so irrelevant in the context of the day.

Make no apology for re-posting photos showing how 9/11 was marked a year to the day on 11 September 2002 at Withdean when we played Exeter in the League Cup.

RIP Robert.

9/11 is as clear as if it was yesterday for me. Was in NYC on business, having only arrived a couple of days before. Totally surreal and, at the time, very scary. Although I was in Midtown at the actual time, team I was working with were in 7WTC (the third tower that collapsed later in the day after catching fire). As a JCL hadn't fully realised the connection. Walk tomorrow will be even more emotional than I expected.

Uncle Spielberg / Gareth Glover - a man who unashamedly wears his heart on his sleeve - started something that has made a positive difference to thousands of kid's lives all over the world. Easy to calculate the money raised; impossible to calculate the joy that the gifts of footballs, kits and training gear to kids who have nothing must bring.

Huge respect to GG.
