Memories of David Halderman

David was a 'true American hero'

I worked with David back at MITEQ in Hauppauge in the late 80s. He was a good and kind man.

David was quiet to most people around him, but to a select few, he was quite a funny character. I remember trying to set David up with one of our co-workers and thought it quite funny to read his mom's comments about trying to get him married.

My wife made me an American flag pin a few day's after 9/11 as a symbol to my good friend David. I figured to wear it for a while as a tribute and there has not been a day since that I have not pinned that flag to my chest in honor of David. I will wear that pin forever so as to never forget the ultimate sacrifice that David made for all those people who got out alive. A true American hero -- my friend David.

You can rest in peace now my friend that THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has finally taken that evil man down. GOD BLESS YOU DAVID.
