Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 11, 2015

Some came runningInto dangerRisk their livesHelping strangers.Mighty towersTumbled downMany helpersNever found.Save us from the true believersHateful violence, vile deceivers.Today ‘tis fitting to recallSome came running, sacrificing all.

Thank You, Mike and Joe, for your annual remembrance. Never forget.

14 years out now.

The fun, thrills and suspense we enjoy every dayBy reading all the comics and the stories each of them sayWhile the choices we get to make to read the ones we likeMaybe Pearls Beetle or Walt or the one by Joe and MikeAre a freedom we enjoy due to sacrifices madeBy men and women who know the cost that ultimately might be paidToday’s a day to realize that life’s a precious giftWe should never take for granted because Tomorrow’s just an ifSo laugh, cry, complain or snore all of them are fineBut never forget that on this day so many ran out of time.

Powerful tribute, Pequod. Thank You.

Thanks Mike, Joe, Pequod, and Av09!!

Good morning everyone!

Thank you, Pequod and avenger09

Never forget when the enemy struck!

Good morning/evening to everyone.-————-Thank you all for your kindness during this time of sorrow. My brother’s funeral was yesterday. It was a short service. Mom held up well. God Bless Each of You My Friends. I knew that I could count on you.-————-I’m headed to bed. Have a fruitful day.

@Pequod and avenger09: Thank you both for your tributes to the fallen. We will NEVER forget 9/11.-———God Bless America Again.

We remember.

Good work Pequod.

Thank Pequod & Avenger09. Today my mind is on my 343 brothers & sisters of FDNY who willingly gave their lives for others. I read recently that experts estimate that the first responders were able to get about 20,000 folks out of the towers before they fell. That amounts to a 90% survival rate for what was a completely surprise attack.

Thank you, Team Tracy! Very nice tribute!Never Forget!

Wishing everyone a peaceful September 11, especially my friends in the United States.

Never forget. And thank you Pequod.

@davidf42: thank you my friend. Have a prosperous day.-———@Neil Wick: thank you my friend. Have a prosperous day.

Since the 2.900 people got killed in 9/11 there has been more than 140.000 gun deaths in the US

Christmas wishes are one thing but this is REALLY tacky…

Last year Dick Tracy honored 9/11 with Annie and Daddy Warbucks.

PQ and Av, you guys are a hard act to follow! You are the very spirit of America. Today holds a very special place in my heart, as does D-Day, Pearl Harbor Day, and the Fourth!. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

I hope we all have said our piece for this day somewhere, and now can go on with life.

We cannot forget, we cannot forgive.

But I can also say, excellent tribute. The only place I know of where I can hope to see another tribute to this, and at least three who never forgot.

Thank You Mike & Joe, PQ & Avenger…for Remembering..

Great work, Pequod and Avenger!

Thank you, Dick Tracy, and be sure to pay a visit to Wizard of Id…

I was off work that day. When I found out what happened, I immediately called The Job and told them to put me to work. I knew the natural instinct would be for people to run from the city; but New York is my town, and my great-grandfather was out on the fireground as a firefighter and officer for 45 years – it’s my instinct to run in when all others are running out.

After calling around the railroad, I wound up working the second half of a North White Plains job. The regular engineer had gone home after his first half, but couldn’t get back because he lived in Rockland County and all the bridges were closed.

Running my first train in was – eerie. Weird. Very disturbed, and disturbing, energy in the air. As you got further south in the Bronx, even the very air reeked. The dust and haze in the air wasn’t the normal late-summer afternoon air.

Then the smoke plumes came into view.

Grand Central Terminal was a very odd, different place that afternoon. The sense of shock when you went outside the train gates was palpable. Inside, we did our job, and we did what we could to get a city full of stunned, shocked people home.

Every commuter rail station with a parking lot has a sea of cars in it once the morning-rush folks got on their trains to work. The cars that didn’t move out of the lot for weeks afterwards told their own silent story.

I remember. I seek not for vengeance, for that isn’t my way. Instead, I work and pray for justice, and healing.

Thank you Pequod and Avenger for the poems.

Thank you Team Tracy… may we never forget.

Also, if I may, I would like to share your poems on my Facebook page timeline. Your words were moving and touching, I’d like to share them with my friends. Thank you again.HAL
