3/20/2020 I TALKED TO A MAN TODAY..........
Re-sharing...so humbling...
I talked with a man today, an 80+ year old man. I asked him if there was anything I can get him while this Coronavirus scare was gripping America. He simply smiled, looked away and said:
"Let me tell you what I need! I need to believe, at some point, this country my generation fought for... I need to believe this nation we handed safely to our children and their children...I need to know this generation will quit being a bunch of sissies...that they respect what they've been given...that they've earned what others sacrificed for."
I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or if it was going anywhere at all. So, I sat there, quietly observing. "You know, I was a little boy during WWII. Those were scary days. We didn't know if we were going to be speaking English, German or Japanese at the end of the war. There was no certainty, no guarantees like Americans enjoy today.
And no home went without sacrifice or loss. Every house, up and down every street, had someone in harm's way. Maybe their Daddy was a soldier, maybe their son was a sailor, maybe it was an uncle. Sometimes it was the whole damn family...fathers, sons, uncles...
Having someone, you love, sent off to war...it wasn't less frightening than it is today. It was scary as Hell. If anything, it was more frightening. We didn't have battle front news. We didn't have email or cellphones. You sent them away and you hoped...you prayed. You may not hear from them for months, if ever. Sometimes a mother was getting her son's letters the same day Dad was comforting her over their child's death.
And we sacrificed. You couldn't buy things. Everything was rationed. You were only allowed so much milk per month, only so much bread, toilet paper. EVERYTHING was restricted for the war effort. And what you weren't using, what you didn't need, things you threw away, they were saved and sorted for the war effort. My generation was the original recycling movement in America.
And we had viruses back then...serious viruses. Things like polio, measles, and such. It was nothing to walk to school and pass a house or two that was quarantined. We didn't shut down our schools. We didn't shut down our cities. We carried on, without masks, without hand sanitizer. And do you know what? We persevered. We overcame. We didn't attack our President, we came together. We rallied around the flag for the war. Thick or thin, we were in it to win. And we would lose more boys in an hour of combat than we lose in entire wars today."
He slowly looked away again. Maybe I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye. Then he continued:
"Today's kids don't know sacrifice. They think a sacrifice is not having coverage on their phone while they freely drive across the country. Today's kids are selfish and spoiled. In my generation, we looked out for our elders. We helped out with single moms who's husbands were either at war or dead from war.
Today's kids rush the store, buying everything they can...no concern for anyone but themselves. It's shameful the way Americans behave these days. None of them deserve the sacrifices their granddads made.
So, no I don't need anything. I appreciate your offer but, I know I've been through worse things than this virus. But maybe I should be asking you, what can I do to help you? Do you have enough pop to get through this, enough steak? Will you be able to survive with 113 channels on your tv?"
I smiled, fighting back a tear of my own...now humbled by a man in his 80's. All I could do was thank him for the history lesson, leave my number for emergency and leave with my ego firmly tucked in my rear.
I talked to a man today. A real man. An American man from an era long gone and forgotten. We will never understand the sacrifices. We will never fully earn their sacrifices. But we should work harder to learn about them..learn from them...to respect them.
CALL FOR PRAYER
From Member Antonio (Tony) Rodriguez
I don't know where to start, so I will start by asking my fellow retirees in both clubs to keep my wife Socorro (Coqui) Rodriguez in your pray's as we move forward with aggressive cancer treatment. We started the cancer fight on July of last year, when she was diagnosed with throat, and lung cancer (stage 4). After a P.E.T. scan in December we were informed that the cancer had been defeated and it was the best Christmas of our lives.
The latter was shortly lived when on April 4th of this year she had a follow-up P.E.T. scan which identified cancer (Squamous cell carcinoma) in both her lungs and in her blood. It has come back with a vengeance...
In closing let me thank all of you in advance and also to say that we believe in the power of prayer...
Best Regards
The Rodriguez Family
Thank you Eddie, yes please post. We are currently under treatment here in Naples with 21st Century Oncology and are receiving the best care possible for lung cancer. Perhaps other members who are or might have gone through a similar process can offer us some advice going forward. Any information is desperately welcome..
Thanks so much and God Bless
Tony Rodriguez 239-348-7822
Update 9/6/19
Thank you so much for thinking of us, it is remarkable how someone like you, that has so much in their basket to carry around could even find the time for an e-mail. You are one of a kind my friend. Coqui is doing fairly well, we just got back Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa seeking a second opinion and were told that the best option seems to to continue the regiment of chem. Our faith in God continues to guide us going forward, Again, thanks so much for all the prayers offered for Coqui (who has been my bride for 55 yrs.) and who still is the love of my life.

Rudy Andre 12/10/19 Night Honoring Ptl. Padilla and Ptl. Negron
Joe, Thanks for the invitation to Patrolman Victor Padilla and Ptl. Ivan Negron event of December
8, 2018 honoring them for their efforts during 1972 Murder of Patrolman Phillip Cardillo in the Harlem Mosque.
Victor Padilla and Ivan's wife Evelyn were quite moved by this honor. I was privileged to speak at this very special occasion. It's a day I will never forget. We need to remember that wife's and family are also dealing with the trauma that the job required of its personnel.
The murder of Phillip Cardillo also reminds me of other officers either injured or lost in the line of duty. I remember Ptl. Curry and Ptl. Binetti being shot with a .45 cal sub-machine gun in the 25th Pct. The murder of Ptl. Piagentini and Ptl. Jones in the 32nd precinct. I worked with Waverly Jones in the 46 pct in my trainee years.
I car pooled and worked with Ptl. Gerard Stehl, Ptl. Eddie Aarons, and Ptl. Carmine Sanguedolce all shot in the 28th precinct. I know their families, children had dinner and holidays with them. Thank God they all survived their gunshot injuries. The men of the 6th division which you know is comprised of made an ever lasting impression on me. We backed each other up and fought to keep each other alive. I had to shoot armed men in the 25th, 32nd and 28th precincts. It's men like these I will never forget.
I loved the job and would do it all over again. Death and chaos was an everyday occurrence in Harlem. We the men of the 6th division were a team not to be F with.
Be safe , Rudy
Thanks, Rudy, For Being At This Wonderful Event And Telling Your Story Of What You Witnessed. No One Couldn't Have Told It Any Better. Rudy Andre Gave A Full Account Of What Happened On April 14, 1972 From The Time The 10-13 Call Came In And When The Backup Units Entered The Mosque. We Had Over 250 People Attend With Great Salsa And Disco Music to Dance To.
God Bless,
-Joe
