NY Firemen

[amycat412]

Hi All- got this in an email this morning, thought it was a good idea, so I'm passing it along--

Hello Everyone,

Here is a little story - 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 crevaces, looking for victims as he prays for survivors. 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 something else. BUT I WANT TO DO SOMETHING.

On the news, they are saying that the firemen are getting discouraged because they have not found anyone in more than a week. 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.

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 men how we feel about them. They need our love, support and encouragement.

I love you all,

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT --- Forward this e-mail, send those cards!!!!!!
