John J. Harvey

[CyberFire12]

I feel one of the many compelling stories of this tragedy was that of the Fireboat, John J. Harvey (Firehouse.com news) whose crew met and pressed into service a 70 year old mothballed boat, (along with two others) to provide water during the initial hours of this event. I'm sure no one envisioned it ever being used like this.

Hats off to the Harvey and her crew!

Let this be one of the many examples to our enemies of what America really stands for.

I am sure that as this continues to unfold more compelling stories will come out. A volunteer firefighter and EMT from Dumfries Virginia was at the WTC (Simpson was his name I think)at a meeting for ORACLE. He evacuated when told to do so but re-entered out of instinct to rescue others. He is now missing too!
