Harry Blanding Jr.

Always remembered..

I waited to hear your name today, Harry, and for the first time since that awful day, I smiled because I knew you were ok, you were looking down at your family and everything was ok. We will never forget and every year, until I am called away, I promise I will always listen for your name every, single September 11. Your friend always, Garth

He lifts us out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He sets our feet on solid ground and steadies us as we walk alongside. - Psalm 40:2 - God wants to take us to take our sorrow and trade it in for His peace. When we seek God's purpose in the grief and pain, He opens our eyes to his mercy and grace in our lives. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, and we continue to lean on Him even now. Remembering you, cousin...

We listened for your name today during the ceremony. We continue to Never Forget. God Bless Harry.

Always remembered...

Harry, I still miss you. I made a promise to myself on that fateful day and I keep it to this day. I will Never forget you!

When I learned of what happened to Harry, my heart sank and I sobbed. From that day, I've raised my kids to always be kind, to be loving and caring, to be ready to lend a helping hand, to provide even tough love if needed, and always smile, especially when times are rough, because they're contagious and even a smile helps lift a person up. It's how I remember Harry. He was this person. He was all of this and more. God Bless You Harry.❤

20 years later, we said we would never forget Harry, and we haven´t. Thinking of you and we will listen when they read your name next week. Garth

Remembering Harry on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...
