Tonight, I had the honor of meeting Bob McIlvaine. Mr. McIlvaine lost his son Bobby on 9/11. On the morning of 9/11, Bobby was supposed to take part in a seminar on the 106th floor of the WTC for Merrill Lynch. Mr. McIlvaine says that he doesn’t think he ever made it to that meeting. I’ll never forget his role as Commissioner at the “9/11 Omission Hearings” in New York City, 9/9/2004.
Mr. McIlvaine didn’t hold anything back, and I thank him for that. Although I understand his feelings regarding hope, I refuse to believe there is none.
Thank you Mr. McIlvaine for the honor, and the experience.
