i am proud to be a part of the historic fireboat JOHN J HARVEY which used its archaic old ship to pump water to the site of the two building collapses, when the fire department couldn't. They worked for 80 hours straight..after they evacuated many people from lower manhattan. They need help financially and physically..deck painting and the like...

Thank you to the Merchant Marines. You guys are always getting jipped out of the credit DUE YOU. You guys are awesome and have contributed SO MUCH to Americans from day one. People need to know who you are and what you've done for this country. God Bless You All and thank you for all you've done!

Wonderful Job! check out what everyday ordinary people did to help see "Boat Lift, An untold tale of 9/11 resilience" narrated by Tom Hanks. Makes me proud to be an American and a native New Yorker!

Congress, DOT, and Secretary LaHood: Fund the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy appropriately. The Midshipmen and staff at this Federal Service Academy deserve facilities that are safe and up-to-date.

USMMA/GMATS.........thank you for heading "towards" danger to help. That was a bad time and we needed all the help we could get.

Thoughtful video, but you failed to show any midshipman just like everyone said those were clearly GMATS...

[MisterBroMen]

‎@3:13 those are Navy Enlisted GMATS students, not Midshipmen...

[RanchGirl75]

During the Merchant Marine Academy segment, why do you show GMATS students marching instead of the Academy midshipmen?

[MisterBroMen]

@RanchGirl75 Seconded. Thank you for pointing that out.
