Just saw this on CNN.
FDNY 9/11 WTC Responders #199 & #200 pass, as Scumbag Senators Paul and Lee play games.
There are many horrible things I could wish upon Mr. Paul and Mr. Lee…
However, I would prefer to focus on the passing of 2 more of our finest, Richard Driscoll and Kevin Nolan. Anyone, regardless of politics, race, religion, age, etc… that ran TOWARDS those towers is worthy of our respect and admiration.
In a tweet Thursday, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio paid his respects to firefighters Richard Driscoll and Kevin Nolan. "They didn't hesitate to run into danger. They stayed until the work was done," he said.
And we have lost 200 of them to the consequences of their bravery, their willingness to step into that breach, their devotion to duty and to their fellow Americans.
Rest in Peace Richard Driscoll.
Richard Driscoll, who was the 200th firefighter to succumb to an illness related to the World Trade Center, served the New York City Fire Department for 32 years, and was cited for bravery five times during his career, according to FDNY.
Rest in Peace Kevin Nolan
Nolan, the 199th firefighter to die from 9/11-related conditions, served the department from 1989 to 2007, retiring with Engine Company 79 in the Bronx.
