I was at a CG Search and Rescue station in Bayside, Queens (Ft Totten) in the early 80's.
3/4ers of our Reservists were cops or firefighters in NYC.

That particular day I was on leave while living in Long Beach CA. My brother and I had
been to a Redskins vs Chargers game in San Diego the day before.

While watching The news over morning coffee, I saw what was unfolding. Without hesitation,
I shaved, showered and went into the Command Center at CG Group Los Angeles - Long Beach
to augment the watch. (I was the Senior Controller). It was pandemonium in both
harbors. No vessels allowed in unless escorted.

Forget? NO! Forgive? NO!
