Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, including the hospitality workers who went to work that morning simply expecting to do what they did every day: welcome people, care for them and create a place for them to gather.
At Windows on the World, and throughout the World Trade Center, members of the hospitality community were among those whose lives were taken that day.
For those of us who work in hospitality, their stories carry a particular weight. They were servers, cooks, bartenders, managers, porters and colleagues. They were part of a community built around taking care of others.
Today, we remember them, their families and everyone whose life was forever changed by September 11.
May their memory continue to have a place at our table.
