TALES AND WHALES PUBLISHING

Welcome to Tales and Whales Publishing!

This page was last updated on 25 January 2010. Pages marked "NEW" have been updated since 1 January 2010. I've begun to add some music and graphic to this site also.

Having been New York born, a Firefighter/EMT, and a Veteran I want to show my support for all those affected by the events 11 September 2001.

Whenever I am home I raise my Colors. Following the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks a photo appeared in many places of the firefighters raising the Colors at what has come to be called Ground Zero in NYC. Thomas E. Franklin, staff photographer for "The Record" in Bergen County, NJ took this amazing photo and I want to post it here so I hope I don't get into any trouble for doing so. This photo has certainly captured their patriotism.
