On one of the Forums (I just cannot find it) you have offered the resources of FT to receive conributions to the American Red Cross for victims of Tuesday's tragedy, a noble act to be sure. Some of us may rather give to a fund that more directly helps the families of police and firemen injured and/or killed.

Would you consider and include such a fund
in this act of human kindness and generosity?
If so, I will gratefully lead the parade with
a one thousand dollar contribution, sent thru
FT, as well as my tax refund check, when and if it arrives. And Mrs. Detroit's, too.

God bless America, God save America, God love America, and dear God, please dry my tears as I with millions of others weep for those left behind who weep in their loss and sorrow.
