Very nice, Al.  Thanks for sharing it here.

Much appreciated Ryan............I spent two weeks the day after 9/12 at the "pile'. We went from body bags, very quickly to black plastic garbage bags I need NOT be more specific. The scene was as horrific as my experiences in Viet-nam. More so, because it was on our own soil. God Bless & Be Well. Once again Thank You.

Al, I deeply appreciate your throwing in with us, as in a real sense your presence among our members becomes emblematic of the great sacrifices made on 9/11 by those of Irish ancestry, within the NYPD, the FDNY and the thousands who were either trapped and died or who fled from the Twin Towers.

Feel the hair rising on the back of my neck when I watch those bravest of the brave, men and women, marching to their doom. For what? For whom? God bless them and their families.
