DIMMY.
May 25, 2008

EVERY YEAR I CHANGE MY PICTURE FOR THIS HOLIDAY .

SO WE DO NOT FORGET WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT .

I CHANGE IT TO THE PICTURE OF A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE .. DIMMY

IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO SEE WHAT KIND OF A MAN SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE , THEN MAYBE IT WILL TELL MORE ABOUT WHAT KIND OF A MAN I AM. IT WILL TELL MORE THAN I EVER WILL.

DIMMY AND I LAUGHED , PARTIED, DROVE AROUND DOING NOTHING  AND LIFTED WEIGHTS TOGETHER . ALL BEFORE I LEFT MY HIGH SCHOOL FOR A BETTER ONE., WE STAYED IN TOUCH, WE IN MANY WAYS GREW UP TOGETHER .YET , HE WENT FAR BEYONDTHAT .IN LIFE....... HE WENT BEYOND ANY OF US THAT ARE ABLE TO READ THIS . HE BECAME A HERO.. HE GAVE HIS GREAT LIFE UP , SO WE COULD BE FREE ! AND THE LIFE HE HAD WAS BETTER THAN MOST .

IT MAY BE LONG TO READ , BUT IT WILL LET YOU KNOW WHY WE GO OUT AND PARTY THIS WEEKEND .. IT ISN'T THE START OF SUMMER ! IT'S MEMORIAL DAY !

seriously, i am speechless [and, as you well know, coming from me, thats no small feat] i read every word of it, and i looked at every picture with the somberest of looks on my face. i extend to you my deepest sympathies and condolences. someone who leaves the lap of luxury as a wall street financial analyst at the likes of J.P. Morgan to avenge the events of 9/11 [and the deaths of 4 friends in the attacks of 9/11] is MORE than a hero!! as i was reading the one thing that tugged on my heart strings was when they were talking about how his parents came from greece and how he joined the army as his way of paying back the US for all that the United States has given to him and his family. But a close second was the poem that they printed. "And then there are the dreamers. Who see beyond the shroud. Distinct are they among us. They shuffle through the crowd. Hope lives among so few. Yet strong it is I know. For I am still a dreamer. Along the track I go" i mean WOW...words cannot express how that effects me. he just seems like an amazing person and the world is truly missing a great individual, but he passed doing what he wanted to do. and for that, i respect him with my whole heart and entire being. again, i am sorry for your loss. but thank you so much for sharing this story with us rob. it's sad and inspirational at the same time. thank you again. really makes me realize and appreciate this holiday that much more. ...View More

Rob...This is something I think will be appropriate to this blog. Heroes are those who've gone before us in the service of their nation. Those who've served honorably. Those unharmed and those who are scarred. Those who're laid to rest in hallowed ground here and there, near and far, under the sea and in the skies above.
