"I lost my Dad on September 11th; he was Chief Edward Geraghty, Battalion 9,
New York City Fire Department. He lost his life with many other heroes that
day, victims of the terrorists. Firefighters from all over have come to the
aid and rescue of the tragedy in New York and Washington, D.C. 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
people feel helpless, especially those who live far from NYC and D.C. We all
want to do something, show our appreciation, our support. I think we can...
In honor of the bravery, courage and determination of American firefighters
and police officers, there should be a day in our nation to celebrate and
appreciate their hard-work and never-ending passion for saving lives. I
think we should honor all those other heroes who still live today. I'm
starting a petition for a National Firefighters Day, or National
Firefighters and Police Officers Day!
Will you help make every September 11th "National Firefighters
Day"/"National Firefighters & Police Officers Day"?
Please join me!"
Thank you.
Connor Geraghty, age 14, Rockville Centre, New York (I Love u, DAD!!)
