At least 500,000 people were evacuated from Manhattan by boat in less than 12 hours with no panic. The "navy" that did it sprung up spontaneously and was made up of ferry boats, tug boats, barges, pleasure craft, etc. It was the biggest maritime evacuation in history. As for the civilian crew of the John J. Harvey, they pumped essential water from the Hudson River into the burning demolition zone for 80 hours straight before the water mains could be restored. Regular folks made this happen - and they did it at unknown risk to their lives without thinking twice about it. Not FEMA. Not the federal government. Not the National Guard or the military. And certainly not the mental and moral midgets in Washington DC. I want to point out that this first responder - the John J. Harvey - is in grave need of repair and Homeland Security which has money for every BS pork barrel project in the universe has not given one dime to help keep this essential part of the 9/11 rescue effort afloat. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fireboat.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.fireboat.org</a> Ken I want to encourage people to take a good look at the links in this article.

In the midst of this - I appreciate the positive reminder you've given us. A reminder of the potential for selfless heroism that exists within us all. Thanks for the inspiration Ken!
