The first five one hour segments will air from 8/25/11 - 9/1/11.
On 9/1/11 the sixth one hour segment will air which will be a "Memorial" episode. My Wife and I have the honor of being featured in this segment, and will be discussing our youngest Daughter Eileen Flecha and her fiancé Ivan R. Perez. They both worked on the 94th and 95th floors of Tower Two for Fiduciary Trust International/Franklin Templeton and were both lost on 9/11.
We were greatly honored that Steven Spielberg and the Discovery Channel production team wanted their story told.

On 9/11 I spent about 36 hours at Ground Zero that day when the towers fell, in and out Tower Two prior to it's collapse trying to reach my Daughter. The responders were there carrying out people and returning back in to do there job. Many of them sacrificed their lives so that others may live, I just don't get it.
I'm very sorry for your loss and will be watching the documentary series for sure.
With so many lives lost that day you should be honored to have been selected to tell their story.
Thanks for sharing this info with us all here as well
