My sister sent this to me, and she checked it out on a hoax site, and found
that it is really from a real person.  Regardless, it is a cool thing to do
and I plan on sharing this with everyone I can.  Both on email and in
person.  I hope you'll join us.

Hello Everyone,

 My friend Shirley's son is a firefighter in NYC working
 at the World Trade Center.  Carolyn's fiance is also a firefighter
working  at the WTC.  These men work 24 hour shifts.  Carolyn's fiance is
trained in search and rescue so he is one of the firefighters going into the
cracks and crevasses, looking for victims.  Believe me when I tell you they
have both seen horrors we could not even imagine.  Take your worst
nightmare and you still would not be able to imagine the horror.

I have been asking Shirley and Carolyn to ask these guys what they need.
Something that is not publicized.  But, as you
know, they have all the supplies they need for now so until they need more I
will
have to think of some thing else.

BUT I WANT TO DO SOMETHING.

On the news, they are saying the firemen so unbelievably discouraged
because they never found anyone alive. They leave out the part about the
horrific conditions and sights they see, But through it all, they go on and
on and on and on 24/7.  While we are all trying to get back to a "normal"
life, they are all still there---and will be there for probably up to a YEAR
cleaning it all up--from the latest reports according to the Mayor.

So here is my idea.  Let's start a Card Writing Campaign.  Go out to
your local Hallmark or where ever it is you by your greeting cards.  Buy
a card that reflects what your feelings are about their heroic efforts and
send it to them at:

NYC Fire Department
1 Chase Manhattan Plaza
New York, NY  10005

Just think how powerful this message can be.  If all of you send
this e-mail to everyone you know, and they send it to everyone they know
and if all of the people who get this note send a card, we can be the start
of a miracle.

Kind of like when the Post Office delivers all the mail addressed to
Santa to Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street.  Lets start our own
miracle.  Lets show these brave women & men how we feel about them.
They need our love, support, encouragement, & sympathy. They
themselves  lost so many among their own peers.  It may be small, but it's
something we can do.

  DO IT, DO IT, DO IT  --- Forward this e-mail, send those cards!!!!!!
