This just came across my desk and I noticed that it had not yet been posted on the page. I hope that everyone can respond. Jake Zissu is the contact to get letters of encouragement to Kevin. Semper Fi, Shawn From: "Zissu, Jake" Sent: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 10:43:56 -0400 All, Some of you know my old office at the Pentagon got hit pretty hard by this. Many are still missing, but among the survivors is Kevin Shaeffer. I saw him in the hospital yesterday. He is in critical condition; he's covered head to toe in bandages - burned over %90 of his body; he's got tubes run in his mouth and his eyes are covered over with gel. But despite being badly injured and mummified, he's alive and he's conscious. He can hear and he understands. The doctor said that much of the battle ahead will be dependent on Kevin's spirits; I believe this wholeheartedly as well. I'm bringing Kevin messages from well wishers this afternoon, if you have any words of encouragement, or want to forward this on to anyone else please do. Please help me keep Kevin's spirits high. I've lost alot of people I was really close to over there, and I don't want to lose another. r/ Jake |
