If you were going into a building that you knew thousands of people were in, would you follow every department s.o.p.? I think not! How dare you call yourself a firefighter. You outta change your name because no one will ever listen to what you have to say anymore. Even if you do change your name we will still know it's you because your an idiot. GET THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Take care my brothers and sisters.

Brothers, Sisters, and other forum users; Please don't let the comments of the ignorant(ten8/ten17)strike on an already raw nerves. Its is from people of the same caliber that brought us this UNBELIEVABLE tragedy!!

Words cannot express the heaviness I have been feeling since Tuesdays events I wish to express my sympathy and prayers to all the rescue personnel (FD, PD, EMS, etc.) Both working and missing in NYC. And to ones working in DC. And to all the family and friends of these men and women. To all the friends and families of the missing civilians and military personnel in both cities.
Lord please embrace us all and help guide us and give us strength in this time of need as only you can Amen

A Firemans Friend

A pain that is felt by the loss of a fireman friend
Is a pain that will soon never end

For this loss has touched so many people in so many ways
We often wonder who is in charge these days

It is the man who gave us the fireman friend
That also decides when it all must end

When God called on our fireman friend to come home
He did not really leave us all alone

For God gave us the memories in our hearts that will live forever
And so will the fireman friend that we all loved together

And when we have the chance to meet him again
It will be our fireman friend who will welcome us in

So when you feel sad and lonely for your fireman friend
Spend some time alone and talk to him

For our fireman friend is no longer on earth
But will always be there for you when the pain hurts the worst.

I am in complete dismay at FDNY's loss which will represent the loss of approximately my entire department's staff. This is a dark time for New York, but they will rebuld and those lost will be remebered forever by all of us. May God bless the families and friends of those lost.The prayers and sympathy of an entire nation are with you.

To Our American Brothers and Sisters,

On behalf of all of my Brigade here in Sydney, Australia I extend our condolences to you in your time of despair. Know that we are thinking of you day and night and that all of you are in our prayers.

The world weeps for your loss as a country, and our profession worldwide weeps for the loss of members of our "family".

Our department flags fly at half mast as we wait anxiously for news of survivors. Our hope is strong. We believe you can feel it across the ocean.

Good Luck in your long and difficult task. We are ready and willing to lend you any support you require, even if it is just thoughts and prayers.

The past week has shown that you are no longer just America's bravest, but you are the world's finest.

God bless you all.

Regards,

AlexM

My thoughts and prayers are with FDNY,NYPD,and all of the families that were touched by this terrible tragedy. The bravery that was exhibited by the emergency responders and civilians goes beyond words. I was saddened to see that Father Judge F.D.N.Y had died. He was a great man. I'm sure he is helping watch over our fallen brother and sisters. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE RESCUERS!

Godspeed to the fallen brothers and sistersand all those who have perished.England is crying and praying for all of you .Stand true and stand stand strong

[MFD19]

GOD bless all of our brothers and sisters in New York and around the world and give us the strength and courage we need to continue on during this difficult time.

I would like to add my small message of condolance to the families, relatives, fellow firefighters and friends of all the brave NYFD that have been lost in the outrage at the WTC.

How anyone can think that this depraved, sensless act will further their goals is truely a madman.

I am a retired firefighter and I openly weep at the stories of selfless sacrifice that my brothers and sisters of the NYFD made as they tried to carry out their duties.

It all seems so senseless.

In this darkest hour of our profesion may all the rescuers draw from the strenghth of your brothers and sisters world wide. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.

I have not been able to think about anything but this monumental tragedy and the hole that it has left in the hearts of everyone in Public Safety. I still cannot find the words to express my department's grief and sorrow to the families, friends and fellow firefighters of one of our nation's finest fire departments.
But then I watched the promotion ceremony today and it becomes clearer. We should let the FDNY grieve their loss. Under normal circumstances, it should be a very private process, but it can't be. The world needs to know just how strong and how resilient the entire community of our nation's fire service is. It showed today at the promotion ceremony. These men are ready. They will help the department rebuild into one that is stronger. They will continue as they always have when their duty calls them and they will make every one of us proud again and again.
I would like to thank the WebTeam for removing ten8/ten 17's privileges. Though he cannot post, he can still read, so ten8/ten17 read this: you managed to trivialize the tragic loss of unimaginable numbers of fellow firefighters on 9/11 into your misguided post. Shame on you! I would suggest one of two choices: 1) Either become a movie theatre usher where you can single-handedly conduct the safe and orderly evacuation of movie goers-you still have your flashlight don't you? or 2) join the Army, where you can single-handedly make the world safe for democracy.
For the rest of us, we will go forward with honor and dignity in a profession that will test our courage every day, strengthen the foundation that was built by generations before us and act without hesitation to our call to duty.
The actions taken by FDNY on 9/11/01 will NEVER be forgotten.
God bless them and their families and friends. God bless us all.
