can't believe some of you frickon idiots. A true testiment of people coming together for the sake of humanity and all you can do is cricise and make malicious comments. I would like to say that when you're in need may noone come, but that would mean I'm no better than you.

My husband was on one of those rescue ferries back to NJ. These men and women are heroes as much as the firefighters and EMS. Bless them all.
