    The Bertuli Story It is known that passing stories down from one family member to another keeps the memories alive. The same can be said for those who have served in our military. Getting personal information from someone who has experienced that part of life can be so important in keeping those memories, both good and not-so-good alive.

    There have been many powerful accounts that voice the stories of events that took place prior to, the day of, and after September 11, 2001 but many of those represent one outlook depriving the reader of the different perspectives and leaving the story incomplete.
