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...

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.
