BOATLIFT, An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience

A buddy from SF Command sent this to me, I was unaware of this until I saw this video. These guys headed into the unknown with one mission, to save Americans. They are true heros. And if you ever wondered what a simple "Thank you" can mean, just watch that boat Captain as he explains the "Thank you" he received.
Tom Hanks narrates.

So much stuff on the news these days that is disturbing, maddening. Stories like this make me proud of Americans and proud to be American.

Thanks TS.

Shades of Dunkirk. If I had my boat there, I'd have made the runs too.
