FDNY.net Updates:
• Coming soon: Bravest.com the ultimate FDNY community site
9/11 Message Center

On September 12, 2001, we launched a feature on this site where visitors could post a message for New York’s Bravest. In the year that followed we recieved more than 2000 messages (many of which were printed in a special issue of Firefighters Quarterly Magazine). We still have them here on the site, as a memorial and a reminder.

With a heavy heart
and watered eyes
I gaze upon the devastation
Give praise and thanks
to ALL the ranks
and thank God this is my Nation!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

je pleure les victimes,
De ce terrible chao.
Pourquoi tant de haine?
Pourquoi tant de mepris?
Quelqu'en soient les raisons,
Elles ne valent pas tant de vies.
Ho! mon allié des flammes!
C'est a toi que je parle parle.
Je voudrais que tu saches,
Avant que tu t'en aille,
Que ta mort n'est pas veine.
Elle laisse derriere toi,
Tant de vies survivantes.
   
      paix a ton ame!
