I'm posting in Breaking News in another attempt to have this bid for ACTIVISM noticed and responded to. If pulled by the time you read it, please bump it.

We've still nearly a month to go before these men and women are laid to rest.

[Askel5]

The first few services, when I stood outside, unable to enter the crowded church, left me solemn and reflective. That changed last week.

Don't leave those buried last feeling forgotten. Please.

How I would love to force CNN War Whore Christiane Amanpour to attend every single one of these funerals.

[GretchenEE]

thank you for the excellent post

I don't think any of us will ever let such an opportunity pass again.

Yes, this is so true in so many ways. I'm sure most, if not all, of us regret having let opportunities pass that we couldn't get back, again.

Thanks for the flag.

After the first tower collapsed, firefighters still raced up the stairs in the second tower past those who were escaping, to attempt to save the trapped, injured, and wheelchair-bound.

These fellows could have easily feigned illness due to smoke inhalation, and ran out with the others.

But they didn't. They all knew in the back of their heads that they would die, but duty beckoned them. Who among us would have done the same?

It's no coincidence they are referred to as New York's Bravest.

I work one block away from St. Patrick's Cathedral. I had noticed the service for Donald Burns in the listing NYCVirago posted. Unfortunately, I can't disappear from work for 1-2 hours. However, I went to St. Pat's at lunchtime and as I walked east on 51st St from 6th Ave toward 5th Ave I saw several vehicles from Fire Depts in NJ and Long Island.

This page is updated daily, and contains the most recent list of upcoming funerals and memorial services. It's the same information as in the Daily News articles listing those events, but it's in one central place, so that you don't have to search for it each day.

Thanks for doing these threads.

Thank you for the flag. God bless you.

Thanks, Askel. I prayed for each of the above and for all of these brave heroes who gave their lives for us.

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord
And let your perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed
Rest in peace.

Amen

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

A respectful bump!

Askel5, You wise old soul. Thank you for this. V's wife.

Our Department is sending three firefighters to FDNY during November. They will attend as many funerals as possible. This is the very least that we can do for our fallen brothers. God Bless

[Humidston]

Bump for your wonderful sister, Askel 15. NYFD deserves to be honored. They are our heroes and we all love them. We will NEVER forget!
