Braintree: A former flight attendant who lost several colleagues when United Flown 175 was flown to the South Tower World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, was respecting his friends at the 20th anniversary of a terrorist attack by pushing a beverage caring airline from Boston to Ground Zero , Encouraging a familiar cart for Paul Veneto, 62, who spent 30 years as flight attendants for five different airlines.
Flights 175 are scheduled flights.
He had flown to Boston the night before and September 11 was his holiday, he told the Ledger of Patriot Quincy.
He helped a friend build a concrete wall during the attack, and didn’t even know at first that the second plane to hit the tower was a regular flight.
When he knew, “I was shocked,” he said.
“I want revenge.
I’m angry and I know nothing I can do.” “The purpose of his trip, called Paulie’s encouragement, is to recognize the crew on the four 9/11 flights.” They are the first first respondent.
“They are a hero.
They are an absolute hero,” he said.
The journey will benefit the non-profit organization of members of the 10/11 members of the crew and force for the next 25, a non-profit organization that helps people deal with the addiction too.
The attack triggered his addiction to the opioid who had been prescribed for back problems when he continued to work.
But the 10-year anniversary of the attack sent it into the tailspin, and he retired.
It took another five years to defeat drug habits.
He has been practicing to walk for about 220 miles (350 kilometers) walking since October, encouraging carts around his native Braintree and Quincy, up to 16 miles (26 kilometers) per day.
His trip began on August 21.
He got lost by 30 pounds and had quit smoking.
He got training advice from Boston Racing Director Marathon Dave McGillivray, Twice Stanley Cup champion Kevin Stevens, and Becca Pizzi, a Massachusetts woman who was five years ago finishing seven marathons in seven days of Tinents.
It becomes a struggle, but encourages the surrounding drink trains easily compared to what is experienced by flight crew on 9/11.
“It’s nothing to push this to New York compared to what they do,” Veneto said.
“It will end in New York if I have to take it on my back.
I know they will do the same for me.
