   "We were all blessed by these two
men, and we will continue to be
  blessed by their example and their spirit.  
 Their deeds and their names live on,"
    --Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

  "Ted, trusty veteran, widely respected,  
  hardcore firefighter;
he was immersed in
the fire service."   
  --Dave Gillotte, LAC Fire Fighters  

"Arnie, he knew no  
strangers.
What a smile,
what a family."
--Dave Gillotte

  "There is very little that we can do today that is  
  going to bring genuine solace to the empty void that  
  the families are feeling." 

  "The men's wives knew every time their husbands
  walked out the door to report for duty, they knew  
  every time that it was a risk, but they supported  
  their husbands' doing that job they loved." 

  "It's above and beyond the call of duty when two  
  fathers seeking to save a building full of people  
  leave their own families behind, that's real courage." 

  "The only thing we can do for certain, is to promise  
  and keep the promise, we will give the Teds and  
  the Arnies all the support they need, the equipment  
  they need, the capacity they need, for we owe you."  
  --Vice President Joe Biden
