One of the men said May 22, 2011 feels like it happened yesterday.
"It will be nice to see how the city, rebuilt, how the city has grown, just to see how things are now from when were there originally to now." Chris Imgarten, an ERC operator
The operators plan to reunite with other workers they met last year.
