What Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said about Sept. 11 was disgraceful.
She dismissed thousands of people being murdered like it was an everyday occurrence when she said “some people did something.”
On 9/11/01 my son, firefighter Jimmy Riches was murdered along with close to 3,000 American citizens by Muslim terrorists.
I rushed to Engine 4 in Lower Manhattan when I heard what was happening. That’s where my son worked.
As I came over the Brooklyn Bridge, the towers had both already fallen. All the rigs at the firehouse were gone, so I knew they were all at the World Trade Center.
When I got there, I saw the death and destruction — people lying there dead and mangled.
We picked up the bodies and saw how gruesome it was. Those people died a horrible death.
We were there for 9 months picking up body parts, pieces.
We found my son’s body six months later, March 5, 2002. He was at the North Tower. We got to bury him.
People talk about closure, but that’s not closure. I’ll never get closure until my son walks through that door again.
It was the worst day for me, to lose my son and all those other people. They went to work that day to help people and they ended up murdered.
My son died doing his job, helping others in distress. The American public said NEVER FORGET 9/11!
My FDNY son’s death on 9/11 was more than just ‘something’
