Thanks Sdy, It is a testament to the fact that we do not need those who think they have all the answers for the rest of us. We just need ourselves. Teach your children. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

on a smaller scale... similar boat captains stepped up when Sully had to put the airplane down in the river after the double bird-strike very cool to see -- gives you hope that not all is lost ------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Some good quotes in that video. "Never go through life saying 'I should have'". "There's a little bit of hero in everyone." Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. - Dave Barry "Never go through life saying 'I should have'..." - quote from the 9/11 Boatlift Story (thanks, sdy for posting it) | |||

The American people will always rise to the challenge. A few months back I was reading about a fire department which had purchased a heavy wrecker. A person posed the question, and I'm paraphrasing, "Who would you rather run this equipment when your life depended on it. A highly trained fire fighter, or some tow truck driving Bubba?" I replied I'd rather have the Bubba who works that equipment every day vs. somebody that attended an instructional class. America is full of Bubbas. | |||

Yup, I was a midshipmen at the Academy at Kings Point during that time. Many midshipmen and our vessels were a part of that.

500,000 evacuated by this impromptu flotilla in 9 hours far eclipsing Dunkirk in WWII. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Never underestimate the the will and resourcefulness of the American people. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||
