| About
the trip from Austin to New York City |
| From
the Heart of Texas to the Hearts of Oklahoma, and New York |
|
| The trip
will start in Austin with the first fire station visited in
2001, Austin Fire station 19, on Thanksgiving Day. Then with
some revisits continuing north up to Fort Worth, into Dallas for
the 400th visit as a memorial visit for the Kennedy
Assassination. Visits would continue north to Denton before heading to Oklahoma. The 500th visit would be
in Oklahoma City on April 19th, as a memorial visit for the
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building Bombing on April 19, 1995. The
route would go through the corner of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, and Ohio as shown on
the Google Map Mashup link below with the 800th visit in
Shanksville,
Pennsylvania first responders to Flight 93, the 900th visit
in Washington DC, and finally to New York City on September 11th
with the 1,000th visit.
The trip with 1000 fire stations
visits from Austin, through Oklahoma City, and finally to New York City would take about
10 months to complete (100 fire stations per month).
The main purpose of this trip is
just "to say thank you" to firefighters for being
there, and for being ready in help. Other important purposes
would be to help generate more support for fire departments, and
to help more people understand their importance, not just in
saving lives and property, but that better fire departments
actually save their communities money through lower insurance
rates. |
