dgreeley @ nysnet.net There are far too many individual and collective acts, both
professionally and personal For me to highlight here, and all I can say is
that I’ve tried to remember each one. Instead, I hope you will see yourself
somewhere in the following:
That all our first response from 38'^ Street survived unharmed,
Thank God. To Pike Street, for opening its doors to become a comfort
station in the first hours. Thanks! To GS-1, for their logistic support.
Thanks. To the Blood Donors who streamed to the donation centers. Way
to Go! To the field crews and engineers throughout the Bureau, you did
yourselves proud! To the volunteers of all sorts. Thanks! To the people
who volunteered, and are still waiting. Thank you! To money, food, or
supply donors. Thank you! To mourners, please attend a funeral to
support New York’s heroes! To the employees who reported to work as
soon as they got the news, and to the employees who found new and
inventive ways to come to work. Thank you!
To the prayers, counselors and people who went out of their way to
do more, your impact was felt and gave those of us at the site a real boost.
Thank you!
This disaster has severely tested our country, city, department an'd
bureau. While we are only a small part of the overall effort to recover and
rebuild, you have all stood tall and delivered what was needed, when it
was needed. You can be very proud of your contributions.
