Mike Magrew on Hunting Elk, Bears and Whitetail Deer

In 2014, I went out West to hunt in Colorado. I had an elk and a mule deer archery tag in my pocket. I was hunting about an hour west of Colorado Springs on a draw unit. A friend of mine told me there were some really nice elk and good mule deer in this area where I'd hunted previously. I'd taken a black bear off this unit before. I went out 4 or 5

Will Jimeno - One of Two 9/11 Survivors of the WTC Rubble

I learned later, after the team got me out of the hole, that about 18-other people went down in the hole and worked to get Sgt. McLoughlin free and out of the hole. I also learned from Chuck Sereika that the rescuers looked for other people under the debris for 3 weeks in areas like where they’d found Sgt. McLoughlin and me. But they never found anyone else. Sereika told me, “You two guys were

Will Jimeno Finally Hears Voices of Hope on 9/11 at the World Trade Center

About 8:00 pm on 9/11/2001, as Sgt. McLoughlin and I were trapped under concrete in the WTC, I heard someone near the hole screaming, “U.S. Marines!” Once the two marines (Jason Thomas and Dave Carns) heard me and located the hole we were in, they stood by the hole, while an unknown civilian went to the police on the scene and came back with Scott Strauss, Paddy McGee and Chuck Sereika.

Will Jimeno Prepares to Die on 9/11 at the World Trade Center

My wife was 7-months pregnant, and the thought of not being able to see my second child born hurt more than any of the physical pain I had to endure. Then I closed my eyes. I was ready to give up. However, when I closed my eyes, I saw a vision.... I snapped out of that vision and knew I wasn’t going to die. If I died, it wasn’t going to be because I gave-up.

Will Jimeno – Buried in the Rubble at the World Trade Center on 9/11

After Tower One had fallen and a portion of Tower Two, I was 30-feet under an enormous pile of debris from the WTC. I knew that Sgt. McLoughlin was alive, and my friend Dominick Pezzulo, who was 3 feet from me, and I were alive, but I didn’t know if there was anyone else who had survived.
