The Deadline Looms

I was debating posting this, but here goes:

Hello my friends.

Many of you know that I spent some time at Ground Zero on 9-12-01. What you may not know is that on 9-11 myself, and many other New Jersey EMS providers responded to assist in treating the injured.

The night before we left for Ground Zero the folks at The Salvation Army housed us in a shleter they set up at the Gymnasium of Rutgers Newark. They fed us and provided us with toiletries. But more than that they gave us their kindness and support.

I will never forget what the Salvation Army did for us that day.

Please join me in supporting this worthwhile cause.

Thank you for the sentiment, but no thanks are necessary. I was just doing my job.

The folks we all owe thanks to are all of the heroes that were lost that day while rescuing all they could. In particular the EMS community has been often overlooked in the media due largely to the tremendous losses sustained by FDNY (343 souls). The link below has a tribute to the EMS providers lost on 9-11.
