Captain William Harry Thompson and Sergeants Thomas Jurgens and Mitchel Wallace rushed to the World Trade Center and died saving others. Our friends, members of our court family, real-life heroes instinctively ran towards danger, and they made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
Let us always be mindful of the enduring impact their heroism has had on our lives... In the face of unimaginable evil, heroes arose, and ordinary people displayed extraordinary strength in the face of insurmountable obstacles.
As we reflect on the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the overwhelming darkness and grief that followed, three precious lives taken from us much too soon.
I recalled driving into downtown Manhattan for litigation and seeing the tower hit as I reached Canal Street... It was a moment that forever changed our world and our understanding of what true heroism looks like.
