Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend fully vaccinated, with family and friends.
Trying to use the internet for good. I hope that by amplifying this story,that the passengers will recognize her father and contact her.
Did my dad help you on September 11, 2001? If so, I'm trying to find you. (a thread)
On September 11th, 2001 my dad caught a flight in Ohio to fly home to Denver. He was there on business and was anxious to get home to see his family. (1/11)

My dad knew something was wrong, so as soon as he got cell service, he called one of the rental car companies and asked to rent the biggest van they had. At this point they were still in the air. (3/11)

He made a sign out of the box that said "GOING TO DENVER" on it. People started approaching him asking if he was going that way. He said yes, he rented a van and he would be able to take 7 people with him. Word started to get around. (5/11)

If you know the Denver area, it's big. There are many suburbs in the area. But each one got front door service. They all offered to pay him for the cost of the van. He wouldn't accept it. They offered him gas money. He didn't take it. (7/11)

My dad died from brain cancer on July 24, 2016. I often wonder if those people still remember him. I wonder if on the 20th anniversary of that day, will they think of him for a split second when they reflect on where they were? (9/11)

And I do believe my dad was a hero to 7 people that needed to get to their families in Denver on September 11th, 2001. If you were one of them, please DM me. (11/11) pic.twitter.com/bbvt4cmXjW

A year ago, @POTUS met 90-year-old Maria Fisher who lost her son on 9/11/01.
Today, walking with the Clintons and Obamas before leaving the 9/11 Memorial, he made sure he found her again. ♥

655,784 people have died from Covid-19 in the United States since 2020. Remember those who have died and remember those who said it would be over in the summer of 2020 and that it would just fade away like a miracle. Remember those who said Covid-19 was fake news. Remember those who said we should not require that masks be worn at work, in schools… 655,784 have died…
