Re: [Chevelle-List] heroes

[Peter Johnson]

Here in Australia we watched with disbelief, thinking that we were seeing a film preview.  The sentiments, amongst all walks of life, are that America is justified in seeking swift and exact revenge against those responsible including any that harbored them.  Feelings are running high, even on the other side of the planet and anyone showing any approval of the events, as has been seen among some Muslims here, risks being dealt with immediately. Gas stations here are also lifting prices in rabid attempts at profiteering and drivers are getting really pissed off. People here are physically ill at the thought that a country like the USA, that has helped so many others around the planet, can be the target of such cowardly actions. Our hearts and our thoughts are with you, especially your heroes in the Police and rescue services .  We are thinking of you.   Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelly Hanna To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 1:12 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] heroes At 04:17 AM 09/12/2001, you wrote: I am A NYC Policeman and i was there in the aftermath.  There are no words to describe the feelings of sorrow for all those innocent people and brave Police and firefighters. I too have close personal friends who are at this point unaccounted for. My heart and prayers go out to all there families and friends.  There is no suitable punishment for those responsible. My commendations and heartfelt feelings for those of you who were in the trenches yesterday and will be today and in the coming weeks as we clean up after the terrorists. My hope is that the officers lost be duly noted as heroes for helping those who got out alive. The loss of life is staggering to me and this is definitely the worst tragedy I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Times like this make me very proud to be a part of this country and those who give their lives everyday to help keep the peace and maintain order....without people like yourself, we would be in questionable shape when it comes to events of this nature...my hat's off to you and I hope your friends and fellow officers are all accounted for.
