Officer Kirwan,
On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for service and sacrifice for the citizens of Suffolk County and our Country as well-not just at the World Trade Center site but also when you served with the U.S. Army as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
