Now it's time to head to Engine 214 and |
Ladder 111... to deliver more gifts from the troops thanking them
for sending shirts from their firehouse. |
Once again, just after we arrived we were lucky the firefighters
arrived- after fighting a fire. 111 rolls in. |
Captain Berube and the crew stand by the memorial to their brothers
lost on 9-11-01 to hear the words of the troops read by Kevin. |
I try to explain to the troops what it's like when I show up at
a FDNY firehouse with news from them. They call everyone out and
everything stops, waiting to hear anything from the troops. |
it is instantly solemn |
These are all just the most caring and generous people on Earth,
the firefighters and the troops. |
And the last of my gifts from the troops are delivered to the firehouses
that sent gifts for Christmas 2005. And we're ready to do it again
for 2006. If you want to join us this year, keep an eye on www.Ladder20.com
|
I am the luckiest girl in the world
to live in this town, to know these people here and abroad, to be
able to help them connect and to show them all how much we all care
about them.
I can hardly wait for the holidays this year! |
