Our guys and gals are down here from all parts of the Country and the State...these two friendly gentleman (Military Police) were not only kind enough to share a word but kind enough to share their hand...I proudly shook 'em...let's all give 'em our support, huh?...proud to be Americans, proud to be New Yorkers! I love 'em all and so should you...how could one not feel protected with these guys around! Got to hear from one these MP soldiers : I asked him how they were doing? His response: ...we're doin ok out there. Its startin' to get a little cold, but we're handlin' it pretty good. The support from the people is what keeps me goin' day 'n night. Thank you very much for your support in us. We appreciate it alot. |

'had the pleasure of talking with and shaking the hands
of some of our soldiers today...I'd suggest we all try and show them how
much behind them we all are. Some from around the NYC area and some as
far as Syracuse and further away. So when you see one of them in the streets,
how about givin' them the thumbs up if you can't shake their hand.

| On my way down Wall Street, I noticed the Parks Police guarding our Federal National Museum, and other officers guarding the NYSE as well as the Federal Reserve Bank. I made it to South Street...aaaaahhh....that great sea air coming out of the East River was a treat. The Seaport District was pretty empty, yet boarding the Peking Ship for free to walk about and take photographs was a well welcomed treat... | |||

The Military Force within the Financial District and
Lower Manhattan is well felt. Battery Park is closed off as military facilities

within, are memorials for people to post correspondence, posters of lost
loved ones and more....

Week ending Sept 24 |
Most of Lower Manhattan had opened to the public by now...100's of people walked up and down the Financial District's narrow streets looking for a better view of Ground Zero...it was a spooky and sad experience...I still look up from points here and then in Chinatown, Brooklyn and yes, even the Bronx...expecting to see the twins and yet they're never there...almost like when a lover leaves you or you've left them...'but to stand and finally see up close what's left............this is what's left of the ultimate expression of hatred and terror. |
