About 25000 US citizens were injured and a couple of thousands of victims were reported dead. WWE superstar, Zelina Vega, lost her father, Michael Angel Trinidad that day.
For you, always.

In a recent interview with Yahoo! Sports, Vega talked about yesterday’s Homecoming anniversary and said that she felt proud while mentioning her father’s name and addressing his presence before his passing away.
“Obviously, we have the choice if we want to read names or not and I felt like this was the appropriate year to do it. I did it once before, when I was 13 years old, and it was a very big responsibility for someone so young. It also felt like I had a duty to represent my father. I feel the same thing for the 20th anniversary.” Vega said.
