A worn bracelet with the name of a fallen fire fighter during 9/11 washed up on the shores of Robert Moses State Park in New York. Marlene Quinn, who was walking on the beach, found the bracelet and was shocked. Quinn had been thinking about her brother who was also killed on 9/11, and she was beyond surprised when she found the bracelet with the name of a guy from her town. The bracelet displayed "Michael J. Otten, F.D.N.Y. LADDER 35 9/11/01." Quinn then called up Otten's family, and they immediately met up with her. Otten's son, Jonathan, now is in possession of the bracelet. His father had died when he was 11, and he's afraid of losing the bracelet again. He and his brother are training to become fire fighters, and they both have shared that the bracelet has connected them with their father even more.
To lose a parental figure when you're 11 is one of the most cruel things life could ever give you. To me, it seems like some sort of miracle the Quinn came by this bracelet right when she was thinking of her own fallen brother. This bracelet obviously has so much meaning to the family and to all those who have lost a loved one during this tragic incident. His sons must be so grateful that their father died for a great cause, trying to save the lives of people.

That's such an interestingly coincidental/miraculous event.. I'm sure that finding the bracelet was meaningful and a welcome resolution to the unfortunate event.
