We left Pocono Summit, PA under another day of rain. Just before leaving the hotel, Bobby got permission from Chief George to give us an escort through and out of town. 19 miles later at the PA/NJ border we parted with Bobby and were led to the Delaware Gap where we crossed over the Delaware River into New Jersey. On the other side, we stopped at a rest stop and met up with our support trailer. A couple happened to be driving by and saw the 343 and pulled over to see what we were all about. Turns out they had a relative in the towers from FDNY. Very moving moment for all of us. This is not the first time someone has come up and found the name of a loved one from our logo. The reaction is always the same. We find the name for them and there is a need to place their fingertips over the name. Solemn special moments!!
