And then finally we were like, let's start heading home.
And I met a few guys heading home.
And I was thinking in the back of my mind, all the guys that got killed, we had no idea how many yet.
Can't even imagine.
And I run into a friend of mine, and he was off in a rescue company.
And I said, hey, John.
He said, Tony, how you doing?
He goes, you know, Tony, Jerry was working, and Jerry was like one of my best friends.
And I was like, oh, God, I just like stepped back.
Because I knew he was in Rescue 1.
I was devastated.
My friend whipped sore, and he put his arm around me.
He said, come on, who knew?
And I was like, oh, I'm still emotional.
Funny story, when he told me he was going to leave to go to rescue, I was like, you motherfucker.
Are you fucking kidding me?
It was like, because everybody was leaving.
I was there 15 years.
