This Friday will be the one year anniversary of the death of 2 auxiliary officers, Nicholas Pekearo, age 28 and Eugene Marshalik, 19 years old, in the West Village murdered by a crazed gunman. Auxillary officers do not carry guns.
"Murdered hero's in the write" page 6 Sunday edition The New York Post
The article says that Nichola Pekearo's dream was to be a published author, mine too and I have had a lot of letters published and sold a short story and a non-fiction piece.
His work is going to be published.
Read the article in the post on page 6, the real page 6 not the gossip page 6.
People have this fantasy about the Village, East and West, that is some movie set, NYU-Las Vegas-ville or an adult Disneyland they are visiting but it is real life and heinous violent acts happen here. These two young men were murdered because of their uniform and you can visit the NYPD memorial downtown and see a long list of officers that die in the line of duty starting in the late 1800's as I recall.
The one place you will not see rescue workers that died in the line of duty 9-11 honored properly is at the WTC memorial because the mayor refuses to give them their rank and this was the largest loss of rescue workers that died in the line of duty in our Nation's history. You would think this historical fact would be on the seemingly unending fence down at the WTC site. I had a letter published in The Wall Street Journal "Betrayal at Ground Zero" but the link is not working last time I checked.
*The image I posted in from the stunning old NYPD headquarters....I love the lions that guard the front door. The building is condos but they honored their community facility agreement. The building is Old New York...
