Amazing!
However Officer Borja went into that pit, or whenever the time period it might have been, the fact remains that he went in there dutifully and selflessly to help out in the rescue effort. That can never be taken away from our memory of his effort.
To politicize his sacrifice, or in the Daily News case, to exploit it for a Pulitzer, is the lowest of the low as far as I'm concerned.
God Bless all those who offered their services and help at Ground Zero during that terrible time, in impossible conditions, and while I'm at it --- God Bless our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan also.
