Lest We Forget [Y-not]

The family, friends, and brothers in blue of Police Officer Rafael Ramos honored* him today:

*Correction: his funeral is scheduled for Saturday. Today was a tribute service.

Friends and family said the 40-year-old Ramos, who was married with two sons, was a longstanding, deeply committed member of the Christ Tabernacle Church where he will be remembered. He served as an usher and was part of the church's marriage and life group ministries.
The families of the two officers have received an outpouring of public support in the days since the assassination.
JetBlue airlines has offered free flights for police departments around the country who would like to attend the funeral for the two officers. An airline official told CNN that about 670 officers booked seats.
"We're honored to do what we can to support the communities we serve, and our team has made flights available to law enforcement agencies across our route network who wish to send representatives to New York to support their brethren," JetBlue said in a statement.
The airline has has also offered to arrange to fly in Liu's relatives from China.
Meanwhile, the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation has begun to raise $800,000 they say is needed to pay off the mortgages of the slain officers. Frank Siller, the chairman of the foundation, said at press conference Friday that he'd like to complete the fundraising by the end of the year to give the families a sense of "peace and comfort."
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani also announced Friday that he had contributed $20,000 to the fund and called on others to give.

Even though I lost my mom near the holidays, I cannot begin to imagine how grief-stricken these two officers' families are right now.

So tragic. So unnecessary. So avoidable.

30 Officer Ramos' son posted on FB the day after his father was killed. I sent him a message, but since he's not on my friend list it went to something called his "other page". Not certain what this is, hopefully he got it. The kid was heartbroken, I just tried to offer some encouragement. I feel so bad for him, maybe because he's the same age as one of my kids.

129 So these two slain officers must not have signed the letters that requested DiCommieo stay away from their funerals if they were killed in the line of duty.

Or would he ignore even that and show up anyhow? I figure he would; he's a legend in his own mind.

And I note that signing one of those letters is itself a sign of bravery, as I'm sure it's a death knell to their future promotion opportunities. You don't diss the mayor in writing without consequence is my bet.

So, an alias. Seeing as he changed his natural name to something else, probably for nefarious reasons. I don't hold with changing one's name, unless there is a well-founded reason for it. Otherwise, it's just disrespect of one's parents. Now if your parents gave a supremely stupid or offensive name, then yeah, by all means.

147 Should I have to book a flight, I'll have to give Jet Blue a try.

And they seem Moron friendly, in that they're not coming up on any of the lists of anti-gun companies and airlines. Which was quite a problem with some of the startup carriers in the '80s and early '90s.

Having earned just short of the miles necessary for a Continental Lifetime Gold Card, I don't change carriers easily. But, credit and recognition where it's due is a hallmark of the Moron Empire, and in this case, Jet Blue is certainly due such notice.

And yes, the allergies did kick up upon seeing that photo. I'm glad to hear of the promotions, too. Right and classy move by the NYPD.

Further, the NYC Mayor should indeed, be physically removed from the services. N.Y. Sanitation might just have a truck available for the effort.
