To the Editor:

The following is a response to the letter titled “What If …” (1/15).

My nephew, Frank Carvill, was employed and working at the World Trade Center in 1993, the first attack, and also on 9/11.A few months prior to his submitting his retirement papers for 20 years with the National Guard, his unit was deployed to Iraq. He left the states in early March. He was due to come home on leave on June 5, but instead gave up his seat for a young man who needed to be home for his grandmother’s funeral.
