I just came from a memorial service for a good friend who was a Chief on the New York City Fire Department.He also happened to be a freeper. I can't begin to describe how great a guy John was and how much I'll miss him. We talked politics,history and world events all the time. And he loved you guys and told me about the web site. I think he introduced me to it with "Patton's speech to the Third Army",a truly great speech which I just reread here. He also always carried with him Teddy Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena " speech,could someone post that? So long John

No KLT, Thank You and the other wonderful American citizens, who have reached into your pockets and pantries, medicine cabinets and garages. And came up with everything we have needed to do the job at ground zero. Your donations keep us warm, fed, and hydrated. The letters of support that hang from the red cross vans,and barricades and fencing at ground zero make us realize no matter how bad the day or how sad and tired we are, that you are all behind us and we need to drive on to bring our brothers and sisters home. The salvation army mobile kitchens, that feed us good, hot food. the verizon phone vans allowing us to call home for free and the hardhats, gloves, respirators and warm clothes that keep us safe have all come from selfless people who care enough to take time out of their busy lives to help us out. The folks who line the West Side highway from west street all the way up into the forties, cheering as we walk out to grab some food and a quick nap buoy our spirits dramatically, especially some of the female ones. (sorry guy moment) The ironworkers and carpenters who work side by side with us. Thank god for all of you. They call us "heroes" we are not heroes, we answered a call that most of us felt as children to do a job and get it done. The real heroes are the American people who refuse to be cowed by madmen and the brothers and sisters buried at ground zero and the folks who made last phone calls to their loved ones from the towers to say goodbye. The men and women who should be honored, are those folks on flt. 93 who took a plane and drove it into the ground to save others, those are the people who should be praised. From all of us who have toiled at ground zero to all of you, THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU - All American Medic, New York State Police
