Letter from the World Trade Center
Subject: wtc
From: Bob Cohen
Dear Friends,
We have witnessed
unspeakable horror in New York. Our sadness at the
enormous loss of
life at the World Trade Center is overwhelming.� Words cannot adequately describe any of this.
We have also
witnessed countless incredible acts of valor and selflessness.� From the first terrible moments our citizens
have conducted themselves in a manner that can only be described as
magnificent. Cops, firemen, medics, doctors, nurses, construction,
transportation and sanitation workers, engineers, merchants, civilian
volunteers and National Guardsmen have come together as one to rescue those
still alive and to care for the injured.�
These were not only New Yorkers - before the first day was over, many
had come from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut to help in any way that
they could � and they're still coming.�
In a horrific and totally unprecedented situation where panic and
confusion would be expected, total strangers have worked together as if they
did this all the time.� Where despair
would be understandable, we have had hope.
The evil of this
attack has been more than equally matched by the good of our people.
Thank you all for
your support and love.� Stand tall and
be proud to be an American. Our enemies truly have no idea just who we are.
Bob
