+UTDARCY Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) Last year Myself and a group of other Geocachers ( too many to LIst - but thank you all of you ) hiked to the GEOCACHE " TOP OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER" as a Retired NYC Emergency Medical Technician Sept 11th will always hold a special meaning and memory for me. To have spent this day with such great people doing something I greatly enjoy meant so much to me. In tribute to those great folks and to all those who lost their lives I would like to Hike to this cache once again If anyone is interested please e-mail me. I will contact the folks from last year and hopefully we can hike this again. Lat year I had hoped to Wear my uniform but I did not. In the last year some health concerns and watching a few older movies, I have come to realize that Sept 11th has had a permanent impact upon my life. THE UNIFORM has been RETIRED - the pins / Badge / and most of the patches now hang in a frame on my wall. ANYONE interested in a MEMORIAL SEPT 11th HIKE please let me know. Last year we began around 6 PM and returned to our vehicles around 9:30 PM Let's make this an annual event and Hike to the top of Flag rock to pay our respects to those who GAVE ALL for their fellow man. " All gave Some - Some gave All " --- Not my Quote but a good one. Thank you - Emergency Medical Tech. retired Damian Darcy N.Y. Badge # 246678 Edited July 7, 2007 by UTDARCY Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Great idea! In it's present form this post probably belongs in the proper regional forum since it sounds like this will mostly be locals hiking to a local cache. Of course, if the discussion is expanded to include the idea of coordinating 9/11 hikes to memorial caches nationwide that would be a great idea and probably suited for this section of the forums. Me, I'll be participating in a memorial motorcycle ride, but that doesn't actually happen on 9/11, so I still might be game for a hike on that day. Quote Link to comment
