John Moran was my son-inlaw.

John truly was a Gentle Giant.He is terribly missed by us all!

I was completely overwhelmed when I first discoverd this website and read all the postings on John's tribute.John and I shared conservative views (The Constition)which I thought was very unusual for a New Yorker. I'm an Idaho Redneck.

I can't express what it meant to me when I read all the postings on John's tribute.It really choked me up!

Thanks for all the expressions of condolences and encouragement.

God Bless You All!
BCM-FIL

I simply added FIL(father in-law)to his name.

The other night BCM-FIL posted to freerepublic the address for us to reach John at in NYC.

I sent him a freepmail and was asked to post this message from BCM-FIL to all of you.

We have freepmailed back and forth and he would very much like to join us here at FR.

Please help me welcome BCM-FIL to freerepublic

Here is Johns correct address

John was a true hero!

No, not was, IS. And always will be! Hundreds of years from now, people will still read about the actions of John Moran and his colleagues on September 11, 2001.

[TLBSHOW]

You are right and I stand corrected.

Welcome to FR. As BCM was part of the "family" here at FR, you too are welcomed with the same heart. Our heart goes out to you during what certainly must be a difficult time. Know that you're not alone. Know that we are very proud of BCM's selfish service when his neighbor's needs called upon him. Many Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

May His peace be upon you and your family.

BUMP!

And welcome to you, too, Enduring Freedom! ..... :-)

A thread both of you may want to check out is especially for newcomers ..... has lots of great links about the history of FR, some of the unique terminology you'll find here, and many other useful things. Please check it out.
