Tony,
I remember when the tragedy of that day happened and how it shook me to the core. I was away from my family at a conference and couldn't leave. My wife was in tears, as were my children. I can't begin to understand what you, your brothers in arms, or the families were going through. Time and time again you protested when we suggested you were a hero. In my opinion, all firefighters are heros.
Now you face an even bigger challenge. But just like before, you are not alone. There are many,many people that are fighting this fight with you. But most importantly, there are people that are taking this to the Lord. The Bible says that if two or more are in agreement, then your prayers will be answered. Well, there are a lot more than two. Rose, we are praying for your strength as well.
Get better buddy. We miss you here.
David "Roaring Bull" Shook and Family
Tony , get better buddy we are all praying for you and your family .
Tony, I never had the chance to know you as well as I would wish, but from the little time we have been on the same forum I have come to respect you highly. Get well soon Tony, we all need you...you are part of us now.

You are an example of what is right with this country. We all are thinking of you daily and pray that you and your family have the strength needed for whatever lies ahead.
Tom
Tony, Rose and family,
Some of you don't know us, but we're a tight knit little group of people who are thinking, praying and wishing you the very best. Through this forum we have come to know Tony just a little bit and that tiny little bit has made each of us better people. Tony freely shares his knowledge, his humor and his opinions and we truly enjoy "talking" with him here online. We have all offered Tony our thanks and appreciation for his heroic service to our country, his fellow fire fighters and the people of NY, but everytime we offer him our words of thanks, he graciously accepts them, but denies being a hero. It is perhaps that which makes each of us so proud to know him even in this small way.
Tony, ya got a new rifle comin yer way, ya just gotta hang on... Mongrel's workin fast as he can...We're all pullin for you and if there's anything I can do for you or your family, just say the word.
You are in my prayers and please know that even in this dark hour God's light is still shining.

Tony, and Family;
I just want to let you know that ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers every single day. God Bless You! Craig and family.
Tony and Rose
You are both hero's
Tony for your service to this country before, through and after September 11, 2001
For helping countless lives in your chosen profession
Rose you are the hero that drives a great man, all the lonely hours not knowing how your husband is doing and for keeping the family together.
Both of you are my hero's and Madison's hero's for the many prayers during both her heart surgery's, for the Elvis cards and for the calls about her. Now Madison and I pray for your health and well being. There are very few people that have touched my life the way you and Rose have. I love both of you, I cry openly for you and Madison and I pray for you.
I am privileged to have both of you as friends
Get well soon my friend
Jerry
Madison "LuLu" Bullard

May the Lord's will be done in your life.

Tony, I'm not a good man with words, so bear with me.
You've proven that you have "True Grit", and not only on 9-11. You need to draw down and grab all you can now. You've done it for others, now it's time to do it for yourself. Your friends and family need you, and that includes the ones here on this board.
We haven't been together long, but we are a tight group.
I wish there was more that I could do to help both you and your family, but trust me, you all are in my thoughts.
Fight hard, and you'll be making smoke in no time.
R.M.
Tony haqng tuff I've yet to get to know you.With my prayers good luck and God bless
Tony there's a bunch of guys and gals pulling for you. We are praying for you and your wife Rose. Hang in there Tony don't give up!
Tony --
My dad has pancreatic cancer, and despite the odds the doctors will give you, the same as they gave him, he's beaten it into remission and is still going two years later. He's not as strong as he was, but lord knows he's twice and ornery and then some. IT CAN BE DONE.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and as I think and pray I'll be working as often and as fast as I can on the rifle. You stick around to see it done and enjoy many years of shooting it.
Mike Lange (aka Mongrel)

Tony, A hero is someone who does what needs to be done regardless of the consequences to him or her. You were a hero on 9/11 and you're a hero now. You are in the prayers of us all.

Tony, we're all pulling for you here. My family has prayed for you and your family. All I can say is hang in there and get better. C.W.
Tony and Family,
Although we may have never met I know we are Brothers now and before. I meld with you with my strengths and beliefs that you and your Devine Creator can beat the troubles of this World that we have become part of. Remember we are a part of the Devine Creator and strengthened with unbound Spirit. Suppled from the Mother Earth is our Body which can be overcome by the Spirit we are linked to from our Father.
The World is not the Earth nor the Spirit we shall fight the weariness of the World and Win!
Tony may You and Your Family be at Peace and rest to keep up your strength... do get well soon,

Ned S
Well pard as far as I know I aint never met you over a cup of snake juice but I'm here to tell you that the Lord loves a fighter, now that don't mean every thing will go the way we want but it does mean it's gonna go the way that it's supposed to. But pard I'm here to tell you that all these folks prayers do count and in some way or other you know it to. My prayer is that our savior will bless you and give you his complete peace and comfort in your time of need. Nope I aint what is called a preacher "BUT" I am a believer and the meek that is talked of in the Bible don't mean milktoast, it means "tough as whang leather".
Yours in spirit
