Seriously, it's real accounts by real people, it will hit you in the feels. Listen to them in a setting where you can cry. I'm only posting two examples, because I shouldnt be listening to these just before going to
bed.

Most of their stuff is audio only, but some are animated.
They should have a lot more views on youtube, hence this post.

A father talks about his sons, John and Joe. Joe was a cop, John a firefighter. Both died in the 9-11 attacks.

"I dont have any coulda, woulda, shoulda's. I wouldnt change anything. There's not many people that the last words they said to their son, or daughter was 'I love you'. That the last words they heard was 'I love you'. That makes me sleep at night."

The picture says it.

"I miss her eyes. Her eyes sparkled. One day they were blue, next day they were green, depending on how the light hit them. Karen I'll always be in love with you and I will see you again. I will do enough good to make it up there."
