The comradery of military brothers is truly amazing.

After 30 years I still have ship mates I can call on tonight if I needed something, and I would drop everything to help them if they asked. My ship mates are closer to me than my two brothers.

Here's another letter - from another perspective.

I remember reading this when it was first published:

I'll leave it up to the reader to find out, or remember, who Gary Gordon was.

October 93' Mike is now a firefighter in NYC. Almost 20 years have gone by and seldom does a day go by...

It really means a lot to know that you are aware of who Gary was, and what he did. I posted a link of this conversation to our FB group. Maybe a few of the guys will post.

Wow, thanks for posting that.

I never knew Glen or Gary or Randy, but I'm proud we have a country that can produce people like that.

Very moving tributes to true heroes.
