Douglas Hoy

MSgt Christopher Bowen recently shared his connection with you and presented each member of our squadron, the 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, with an FDNY Ladder 20 t-shirt.
Thank you very much for your generosity and kindness. More importantly, thank you for your support and encouragement. It was greatly appreciated.
Your actions have even more meaning to the 33 men I am serving with in the 447th ECES Fire Department based here at Baghdad International Airport. Our group is made up of Air National Guard firefighters from Wyoming, Kansas, New York and Pennsylvania.

Most of us also serve as firefighters in the civilian world. As you can see, the expression of kindness was particularly heartfelt because of the bond we have with our brothers and sisters of FDNY. To strengthen that bond, among our ranks, we have two FDNY firefighters (one from Engine 16 and one from Engine 308) and two members of Pennsylvania's Urban Search & Rescue Task Force One (the first search and rescue unit called to duty on 9-11). We know why we are here. We need no other motivation. And, we are giving 110 percent so that their sacrifices won't be in vain.
WE WILL NOT FORGET!!
To say thanks to you for your support, we would like to send you and the members of Ladder 20 some tokens of appreciation including a Baghdad International Airport Fire Department t-shirt and a 447th ECES Fire Department coin. I have also attached a photograph of the entire fire department here at BIAP.

Gifts delivered to Ladder 20 September 11, 2004- HUA!
"Serving for God, Country and YOU!"
Douglas J. Hoy, TSgt, USAF
Firefighter/Crew Chief
