NEW YORK — San Diego Rock ChurchPastor Mickey Stonier remembers.
For the last 40 years, Stonier has been helping to care for victims of trauma and he'll never forget his time serving at Ground Zero as a member of a disaster response team in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
One memory that’s powerfully etched in his mind is the reaction of first responders each time they found the remains of one of their own in the rubble.
“When a [deceased] first responder was found in the rubble, the whole site stopped. The New York Fire Department personnel, no matter who was on scene, whatever task force was there, they would stand down and the FDNY, the police would go in and care for the body of their fellow co-worker,” Stonier recalled in an interview with The Christian Post.
“They were put [the remains] into a body bag, put onto a gurney. The whole site would stop. It would be silent. And then they would lift that individual by crane off to where we were as chaplains.”
