I hope and pray that we never have to do this again but since I know that this world makes that dream impossible, I hope we don't have to do it again for a very, very long time.

Great shots. I was there with a few of my Explorers, but still didn't really get an appreciation for how big this was. Also, since I was at attention I couldn't move my head to see the flyover... I was staring at the County Clerk's Offices and was REALLY wishing I could look up, so thanks for taking that shot.

What a truly sobering experience. Godspeed Detective Falcone.

I first had the pleasure of meeting John back in the mid 90s while working for the United States Postal Service in Poughkeepsie. He was working security at the RIP VAN WINKLE TOWERS on Rinaldi Blvd. He would let me into the lobby and would say if ever needed anything to let him know. He would then go back into the security office and watch the cameras or take a quick stroll outside. I found it funny such a mild mannered Cop was working one of the worse parts of the city and he always had a smile on his face. It is so ironic that 1 block from where I had the pleasure of meeting this man he is gunned down in the line of duty. You are a Heroic man Detective Falcone, that little girls family has you, and the City of Poughkeepsie Police to thank for saving her life. GOD SPEED BROTHER, GOD SPEED!
