This is me today, I am currently a junior firefighter in Williston Park.
I am currently 16 years old and on September 11th I was to young to know anything. Yet I am the son of a hopeful search and rescuer. His name was Frank Dillon he told me about a couple of brave friends he knew that were killed that horrible day a few months ago. The person that inspired me the most was you Patrick O'Keefe. Yet I only knew you by a name I didn't have a face or an idea about you I just knew you were a firefighter a one of the bravest people on earth. So I searched and searched...
