As we all know, September 11, 2011 marked the 10th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in our Nation’s history.  But that horrific day also revealed to the rest of the world what true character, bravery and heroism average Americans display.

This past Sunday there was a very special service at my place of worship, Bible Baptist Church in Elmont.  All in attendance were able to hear one of our own members, Staff Sergeant Dave Karnes give his testimony about helping pull 2 people out of the rubble on 9/11.  If anyone has ever seen the movie “World Trade Center”by Oliver Stone, then they might be familiar with whom I am referring to.  Although he himself is not a fan, there was a movie about his story, and the two lives he and Sergeant Jason Thomas helped find,  Will Jimeno and John McLoughlin.  It was a remarkable story, and a pleasure to hear how he felt God had led him from his desk at an accounting firm in Connecticut, to under 20 feet of rubble to find the two officers who were trapped.
