Student gives thanks to firemen, policemen

This letter is to say "thank you" to members of the Police and Fire Departments.

I was walking by the Purdue fire building and saw a little memorial that had been put up in honor and remembrance of the firemen who lost their lives in rescuing people in the twin towers. As I walked past and saw the 'eternal' flame, I was deeply moved and it was reinforced yet again that the service in New York has affected the people here.

I was working at Hawkins and a member of the Purdue Police was in the lobby. I only had a minute to talk to him until he was called over to campus. I'm grateful to him for spending the time to talk to me as a friend.

Thank you. Thank you also to all of you who give your lives to serving others. You are to be commended and very much appreciated.

Most sincerely,

Carol Saunders

Senior, School of Technology

Students should respect cherished icons of freedom

Flag earns respect only after attacks

College-ruled paper ranks above others

Bomb threats waste assets, other's time

Sacrifices must come to prove our ideals

All American citizens need equal treatment
