I've spent the last 2 days and nights in NYC... the aftermath is beyond anything I've ever seen.

7 friends of mine are missing. All NYC firefighters. 4 from engine Co. 3.

Pray for all of them, please.

The general feeling among the rescue workers is outrage.. anger... determination to find those who are missing. THEN they want to find those responsible.

Never liked NYC much.. but I'm in utter amazement and awe of those guys at Ground Zero... never been so proud to be an American as I am right now.

No time to read the boards.. heading back again tonight; just wanted to let u guys know that we ain't licked.. and never will be. Yammamoto's "Sleeping Giant" is back.

And this time he's truly pissed off.

Put your flags out gents... show 'em who they're messin with.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

Glad to hear from you Hangtime.

I'll keep the rescue workers in my thoughts. I am still hoping for more miracle rescues.

We'll get the excrement that did this.  They have no idea what the just called down on themselves.  Something like this would defeat America?  HA!!!  We don't roll over, its just not in us.  We won't rest until we get them all.

Good to hear from you Hang.

Tell the workers how proud we are of them.

Chorus
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there--
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there.


I'll reenlist for this one if they'll have me.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I'd like to see some of the bleeding hearts tell Hangtime to just "Do Nothing" and it will just all go away as some on the boards have suggested.  He is at ground zero and has probably seen more horror in 2 days then any of us will see in a lifetime.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you Hang.

Hantime I'm greatly relieved you are ok!  I have been watching the boards for some kind of response from you.

I will be thinking of the victims and especially the family and friends left behind......

I think all of our hearts are bleeding, now.

What we saw at the TV (firemen and volunteers at work, that is) almost made me and my friends cry ... GOD bless NYers and all american people   :(
