Saw him on Good Morning America this morning ...

This Navy vet is a real hero ... He had grease marks on the cap
he wore ...

I hope New York gives him the best treatment you can give,
parade, money a house ... Give him the works.

More like made many friends. It's awesome to know that in the middle of New York City, someone saved a stranger's life at immense risk.

My husband and I have found NY to be a much friendlier city than its reputation gave it decades ago. This change occurred after 9/11.

I saw this on Fox News yesterday. Took some guts, that's for sure. I feel sorry for the daughters, though. Can you imagine the sheer horror they would have gone through?
