Rain or shine, Paul Veneto is on his way to New York City, pushing an airline beverage cart in honor of the flight crews who died on 9/11, many of whom he knew personally.

“I went 18 miles yesterday and it didn’t bother me one bit. I got soaking wet and I didn’t care. Believe me, I’m ready,” said Paul Veneto. “That was my normal route, Flight 175. I used to fly Boston to LA all the time,” said Veneto.

The former United Airlines flight attendant had a scheduled day off on September 11th, 2001, and could only watch helplessly with the rest of the world in disbelief on that day twenty years ago.
