Hello Everyone,

My friend Shirley's son is a firefighter in NYC working
at the World Trade Center. Carolyn's fiance is also a firefighter working at the WTC. These men work 24 hour shifts. Carolyn's fiance is trained in search and rescue so he is one of the firefighters going into the
cracks and crevasses, looking for victims. Believe me when I tell you they have both seen horrors we could not even imagine. Take your worst nightmare and you still would not be able to imagine the horror.

I have been asking Shirley and Carolyn to ask these guys what they need.

Something that is not publicized. But, as you know, they have all the supplies they need for now so until they need more I will have to think of some thing else.

BUT I WANT TO DO SOMETHING.

On the news, they are saying the firemen so unbelievably discouraged because they never found anyone alive. They leave out the part about the horrific conditions and sights they see, But through it all, they go on and
on and on and on 24/7. While we are all trying to get back to a "normal" life, they are all still there---and will be there for probably up to a YEAR cleaning it all up--from the latest reports according to the Mayor.

So here is my idea. Let's start a Card Writing campaign. Go out to your local Hallmark or where ever it is you by your greeting cards. Buy a card that reflects what your feelings are about their heroic efforts and send it to them at:

NYC Fire Department
1 Chase Manhattan Plaza
New York, NY 10005

Just think how powerful this message can be. If all of you send this e-mail to everyone you know, and they send it to everyone they know and if all! of the people who get this note send a card, we can be the start of a miracle. Kind of like when the Post Office delivers all the mail addressed to Santa to Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street. Lets start our own miracle. Lets show these brave women & men how we feel about them.
They need our love, support, encouragement, & sympathy. They themselves lost so many among their own peers. It may be small, but it's something we can do.
