Sorry but my brother was a first responder, it was highly emotional, he lost many friends that horrible day. In fact he was there when GW came to speak, it was greatly appreciated but at that point those guys still believed there were survivors and because of the security, etc. there was a stoppage. I can remember my brother being so upset.

He and his fellow cops at the 17th precinct where housed right next door to a Fire Station. They followed the truck down, guys that were leaving at shift end volunteered to go, at that point they didn’t realize the extent of what was happening. When they got down town, the fire trucks took one route the cops another. Not one fireman from that house survived. They saw eachother everyday. It was also very personal sifting through the rubble.

Some of those jobs were heartbreaking to perform, but didn’t many first responders already get millions from different resources set up by the citizens of this country...I am talking money, not the grief and pain involved...We all were sad at heart for those lost...for some it was more personal than others. But I don’t trust any bill that democrats set up. It becomes a big slush fund for their friends and the source of lot of scams by scums....
