        GOE did a demonstration of support at the Recruiting  Office in Times Square that got bombed the previous day.  I took the train up from Philadelphia.  Great group of people.  Rained on and off all day but, they had a party tent without sides set up for us.  I can finally say &quot;we played Broadway&quot;.  We spent the day on that traffic island the Recruiting Office is on.  NYPD &amp;FD did a show of support with their cruisers, about 15 went down each side of the island.  Cool.
