Subj: FW: National Firefighters day Date: 10/16/01 8:49:58 AM Eastern Daylight Time Firefighters from all over have come to the aid and rescue of the tragedy   In New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. Many firefighters have   lost their lives to save someone else's. The truth of the matter is they   do this every single day. They truly are heroes. I know many of you feel the same as I do - - helpless; especially those   of us who live far from NY and DC and PA. We all want to do something to   show our appreciation and our support (aside from displaying our American   Flags, our Red, White & Blue colors and our yellow and/or PURPLE RIBBONS. I think we can do more . . . In honor of the bravery, courage and determination of American   firefighters, there should be a day in our nation to celebrate and   appreciate their hard work and never-ending passion for saving lives.   Let's start a petition for a National Firefighters Day. Will you join me? Please type in: the chronological number, your name, city & state, and   pass it along!
