NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- New Smyrna Beach's Bob Tolley is a fixture at local government meetings in his role as citizen watchdog. He also writes an occasional blog for the internet news site.  

The elder Tolley's remembrances and thoughts on 9/11 are presented here in a video on the eve of 9/11 because of the impact of the terrorist attacks on the younger of his two sons, William, a firefighter, who had the grim task of removing bodies from Ground Zero that night.  

Tolley, himself had a connection to the World Trade Center himself -- having worked out of a cubicle in the North Tower for several years until March of 2001. 

"Anyone who lived through time (in the Towers), lives this every day," Tolley said, adding there were people he knew who didn't make it out alive that day. He said it's something his firefighter son remembers every day, too. 

"My son worked the pile that night," Tolley recalled in the video, referring to body-bag duty. You can click on the video above for Bob Tolley's sentiments on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and what it means to him and to his son.
