SJ Letters To NYC Firemen & Police

These letters were written by Russell Knight Students, second grade up to fifth grade to New York firemen and police. Many had pictures of flags, hearts and ‘God Bless America.’ They also made cards for the people in the hospitals. We have omitted salutations in order to publish as many as possible.

Thank you for making it safe for people to walk the streets again. I think what you’re doing, saving people and all is real heroic! I admire what you’re doing. It must be hard but an exciting job you have. I wanted to help but I am only 10 years old, so me and my mom put out our American flag and prayed before we went to bed. (My mom may also give blood.) You’re my heroes. Laura Flanagan – 5th grade

You did a very brave thing. If I was 16, I would go to war. My friend’s uncle is missing. Can you try your hardest to find him? Keep the good work up. Are you going to fight the terrorists? Do you have any friends that died or any family that died or loved ones? You made people feel special by saving them. Dan Melleby – 2nd grade

Dear President Bush, On September 11, it was terrible because two airplanes crashed into the twin towers and one airplane crashed into the pentagon. I think NYC and Washington D. C. are very, very dangerous. I hope firefighters and policemen are safe. Regards, Phillip – 2nd grade
