Just saw a segment on Today (NBC morning news and commentary show) about some volunteers who man a street corner past which many police and firefighters pass to and from the disaster area. The volunteers, all ages, people who wanted to help but couldn't do all the traditional Red Cross and such stuff as the slots for volunteers were filled, cheer on the firefighters and police as they go back and forth. They hold signs and American flags and basically let the people know, 24 hours a day, how much their work is appreciated. I saw many firefighters heading home who stopped and said things such as "This is the best part of our day" and "thanks for being here and letting us know we are appreciated".

Not a yellow shirt among them. Not one.
