Kris Romeo Bishendat


When we arrived at the September 11Memorial, Bob told us we would get to meet the Bishundats. Kris Romeo Bishundat was one of the soldiers killed in the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon, and his parents were there that morning visiting his grave. They visited with us for a few minutes, and we all cried together for a small while. His mother had covered his grave with rose petals from the head to the foot, and those petals were the most touching thing I have ever witnessed. I didn't take photos of the grave or of his parents, it just didn't seem appropriate, but his parents pointed out his jeep that they have decorated as a memorial to him and drive around. Mr. and Mrs. Bishundat, if you should ever happen to read this, I would like you to know it was truly an honor to meet you. We expressed our condolences to you at the cemetary, but words just cannot express how deeply we feel for your loss. Posted by Hello
