Paulie pushes through Westport to honor fallen 9/11 flight crews
.
.
Paulie started today's leg of his journey in Bridgeport, traveling through Westport and ending in Norwalk with the help of a first responder escort - and support from the community.
.
.
Paulie Veneto, a former United Airlines flight attendant, completed the Boston - Los Angeles flight route September 10th, 2001 and went home. The next morning his coworkers were lost as their plane on the same route struck the south tower at 9:03. Following the attacks, he battled drug addiction until becoming clean in 2015. "I can now finally give tribute to my fallen crew members."
.
.
Paulie has been pushing a airliner beverage cart from Boston's Logan International Airport - the origin for Flight 175 - until he arrives at Ground Zero in time for the 20th anniversary of the 09.11.01 terrorist attacks. His walk is raising money for survivors' families and the Power Forward foundation for sober living.
