CHIEF OF STAFF LETTIE,

 

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY FEELING & EMOTIONS WHEN I THINK BACK ON THAT DAY..IT WAS TOTAL ANARCHY IN THE STREETS & THAT DAY I WENT THERE WILL BE ETCHED IN MY MIND FOREVER, I LOST 46 FREINDS WHOM I MET OVER MY 20 YEARS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM VARIOUS AGENCIES THAT DAY. TO SEE ALL THE EFFORTS OF THE NYPD & FIRE DEPT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.WHEN I ARRIVED THERE I HAD MY K9 PARTNER DUKE AT THE TIME ..I TOOK A SCOTT AIR PACK OFF A FIRE TRUCK THAT HAD BEEN WRECKED PROCEEDED TOWARD THE RUBBLE THROUGH ALL THE SMOKE & CHAOS. MMY PARTENER WAS TRAINED IN SEARCH & RESCUE SO IT HELPED THAT DUKE WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME.I ONLY STAYED 4HRS & 46 MINUTES  THERE BUT I JUST KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING MORE & THERE WASNT..DUKES PAWS WERE BLEEDING 7  I WAS TOO BUSY TOO NOTICE I TOOK HIM TO A FIRST AID STATION THAT HASD BEEN SET UP FOR RESCUE WORKERS. THEY SOAKED DUKES PAWS IN BETADINE SLOUTION & DID THE BEST THEY COULD TO HEAL HIM & MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE, AS FOR ME I JUST GOT CLEANED UP & WAS GIVEN A QUICK ONCE OVER..THEY SAID I WAS FINE ..ME & DUKE WENT BACK TO NJ TO BE WITH MY FAMILY WHO HAD NO IDEA WHERE I WAS OR WHAT I WAS DOING AT THE TIME OF THE ATTACK.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS FOR ME..I APPRECIATE IT
