The heroism displayed by thousands of people, from all walks of life, that day is astounding.

the local reports I remember reported that all 12 members of the NYFD rescue squad, who arrived in OKC on their own $$$ & time, died on 911.

I remember one NYFD rescuer named Father Mike (I believe that was his name), who is the man shown in pictures (That were shown in magazines/newspapers worldwide) being carried in a chair from the WTC, after he was killed when a person from high above in the WTC landed upon him.

This man of the cloth, died with his rosary in his hand...the same rosary that was given to him by then Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating when Father Mike came to OKC to assist in recovery of our dead.

The National Memorial Museum has honored the fallen NYFD/NYPD from 911...Oklahomans have never forgetten how those New Yorkers came to assist us in our time of sorrow, We gratefully returned the same.
