An Open Letter to the Police Departments of the City of New York
& the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the New York
State Police, and the citizens of the City of New York.
As the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is upon us, the men and
women of the Police Association of New Orleans would like to take
this opportunity to thank your agencies and the citizens of New
York, for their assistance in dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina. Many of us worked side by side with your officers after
August 29th, 2005, and felt the pride and camaraderie that you must
have felt when we sent assistance to New York after 9-11. We would
also like to take this opportunity to address the recent comment
made by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin concerning Ground Zero.
As fellow officers and patriots of this great nation, we recognize
that the City of New York was the target of a foreign enemy. That
enemy took the lives of 3000 people in the Twin Towers and has since
led our military to confront them on their own soil, costing over
2000 American servicemen’s lives.
We stand arm and arm with our New York brother and sister officers,
just as you stood with us here in New Orleans. We also recognize
that Ground Zero is not simply a hole in the ground but hallowed
ground. Whatever is ultimately constructed on that site will serve
as a headstone and monument to that sacrifice for the entire world
to remember.
We pray to the Almighty that our cities never again experience
the horrible tragedies which have forever changed us. We also pray
that our citizens never forget the great cost paid by a few, so
that so many, as ungrateful for the sacrifice as they may be, can
experience a freedom not shared anywhere else on the globe.
