Brian Joseph Cachia

2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11. http://www.dcroe.com/2996/

On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim. We will honor them by remembering their lives,and not by remembering their murderers.


http://briancachia.com/flash06/flash.htm Please click on this limk and meet Brian Cachia, 26 lost in tower 1 at the World Trade Center on 9/11. He was a Technical Support Specialist for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor. Brian was a single man who looked forward to starting a family and his hobbies were skiing, fishing and sports. He had a passion for music and even composed his own pieces. He grew up working in his dad's store and was well liked in his hometown in New York. These slides were put together by his family who miss him terribly.

BRIAN

The world is no longer as it was
the day God called you home.
Fear and hate have reared their
ugly faces changing the world.


One fateful morning your dreams
fell to the ground leaving a trail of
tears. Your family never given a
chance to kiss you goodbye.


May your journey take you to a
world of no fears, streams of love
and beautiful songs of the angels.
Unleashing all you were to be.


A piece of us all died a little that
day and we will never forget. You
remind us how fragile life can be
while we remain forever vigilant.


Rest in peace Brian.

Thank you for doing this, Tammy. Such a handsome young man. Some impressions that came to me while looking at his pictures: He had kind eyes, his face was open, not guarded, he was funny, he was warm, loving, seemed protective of littler ones, seemed gentle & to love life. I loved the fishing pictures - as he got bigger, so did the fish!

His face will be in my thoughts today & from now on when I remember this anniversay. My thoughts & prayers for peace & comfort to his family.
