Sept. 11, 2001, started out as a normal day for Will Jimeno, a Port Authority police officer from Clifton, N.J. But soon after he started his shift, Jimeno found himself pinned under the rubble of steel, glass and concrete when the Twin Towers fell on him and his fellow officers.
Jimeno, a Navy veteran, spoke of his experiences during an event recently at the Northport American Legion Post 694 to honor Memorial Day. Two other veterans and the father of a service member slain during one of the wars launched after the terrorist attacks also spoke at the event.
Up to 100 people _ students, veterans and areas residents _ crowded into the hall to hear harrowing tales of heroism and sacrifice.
