Sunday

Up at 730 this morning. Today will be another long day. Got my Starbucks and I’m ready to head to the harbor for a boat trip with NYPD and NYFD and a visit to marine operations. After our boat trip we will head to the freedom tower and the 911 memorial. Our long bus ride home will commence at 5pm. Should be a quiet ride home tonight.

Boat trip was an awesome experience. Not too often you get this kind of opportunity. I am very appreciative for the once in a lifetime opportunity.

We ended the day with a tour of the 911 memorial and a view from the 81st floor of the freedom tower.

While we were up in the Freedom Tower, Tim Brown joined us and talked about his experiences during 9/11. He was a FDNY firefighter that was in both towers on that day. He was able to take shelter near a support pillar when the buildings collapsed. He was lucky to survive that day and lost many friends trying to help people. He was also a guest speaker at our academy.

What a great weekend. Thank you to Charles, Tony and Lito from NYPD and class 275, for planning a great trip. Thank you to NYPD for their hospitality and professionalism. I put together a little recap of the weekend. I don’t think the weekend could have been any better.
