Kenneth 'Lou' Shea : Today we are gathered together here to honor five men. My men. My brothers. Five men who were given a choice to run. To flee for safe ground. To seek clean, fresh air or to move deeper, knowing the danger. Knowing that two young people, innocent kids were crying out for help. For my men to save them. We all know which choice they made. These men, these five extraordinary human beings will forever live in my heart and in the memory of all who knew them and in the public records of this great city as heroes. The bravest of the brave. I shed no tears. I cry out not in agony. I beseech the sky not in anger but with pride and a voice that is strong and clear. I am a better man and we are all better people for having known them. Goodnight my dear friends. My five unforgettable brothers. I shall see you on the other side.
