😢Today, I'm remembering Ace Bailey. Well, Garnet "Ace" Bailey, professional hockey player from 1967-1981.
🏆🏆He was a member of the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup winning teams in 1969-70 and 1971-72.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆In 1981, he became a Scout, working for the Edmonton Oilers. 5 cups.

🏒Todd Bailey, Ace's son, put 6 Stanley Cup rings on the Memorial in 2016.
💍The 7th ring was on Ace's finger when his plane, United Airlines Flight 175, was hijacked and deliberately crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001.

🍀I was lucky enough to meet him, sit with him and ask questions about the 1969-70 Boston Bruins for a project I was working on, before, during and after a 1999 Los Angeles Kings game while he was working for the team as a scout.

“As a born American, I will not forget those who died on 9/11.
I will also not forget my corrupt government and the lies of 9/11, the corrupt laws motivated out of fear, or the massive wars in search of a person used as a political scapegoat.
Freedom + Terror = Captivity”

I was jolted awake by the phone ringing.
It was my father in law, his panicked voice on the other end, crying in fear. He asked me where his son was.
I said he’s already in court this morning.

My father law a retired lawyer was a bright, articulate man yet he was nearly unintelligible that morning choking on tears, terrified for his precious little girl. My sister in law, his first born child was a buyer for Macy’s and working in NYC on 9/11/2001.
Papa, as we called my father in law said, “turn on the tv.” My heart racing, I walked on swollen feet carrying my heavily pregnant body to the family room to switch it on and stood phone in hand staring in disbelief as I witnessed the trauma of #911 unfold before me.
A rust-colored steel column recovered amid the rubble of the World Trade Center after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is a permanent memorial at CIA Headquarters.

The 9000 lb, 17’6” steel column was retrieved from World Trade Center Building Six, the shortest tower at the #WTC complex. It suffered secondary but catastrophic damage when the North Tower collapsed.
In 2011, New York City Port Authority (@PANYNJ) gave the WTC artifact to CIA.

The column was originally unveiled on the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11, when it was temporarily displayed inside our Original Headquarters Building, before being relocated this year to its permanent location outside.

17 years ago, I was in Greeley, CO. My great-grandmother had just died and we were starting to plan her funeral in Denver a couple days away. Family was coming in, but not for a couple days. #September11

On Monday, I had worked out a plan. We would get all our stuff done early the next day and then we would order pizza and stay in the hotel Tuesday night. I was thrilled because the season premiere of my 2d favorite TV show, JAG, was to be 9/11/01.
We were on vacation when my grandma passed, so we were allowed to stay up late. I was 13. I think I stayed up until at least midnight reading.

"I woke up this morning.
I could barely breathe.
Just an empty impression.
In the bed where you used to be.
I want a kiss from your lips.
I want an eye for an eye.
I woke up this morning to an empty sky."
--Empty Sky by Bruce Springsteen

September 11, 2001 will always be known as a dark day in history, the day that terrorists carried out devastating mass casualty attacks on an unprecedented scale, plunging the United States and its most faithful allies into a protracted war against terrorism.
