Unsung Heroes of the 9/11 Boatlift

This video just came across the transom.  Here is a very interesting bit of history that I had never really thought about before today.  At the end of the movie, it explains that this is the biggest sea evacuation in the history of the world.  Nearly 500,000 people were moved off Manhattan Island in nine hours.  It took nine days to evacuate 350,000 people from Dunkirk in World War II!

This is so wonderful to see–This is what Americans are all about!  This makes me proud to be an American.  An amazing video of the 9/11 disaster you may not be fully aware of.  Where was the lame-stream media?  Watch and be proud.

This is a very moving video about 9/11 and something I’d never heard of before.  It’ll make you feel proud!  Fly those flags!

I thought everyone I knew should see this video.  It is well worth the nearly 12 minutes to watch it.  Share it with others.
