Back in 2001 when I owed and ran Sixgunner.Com the United States was attacked by a bunch of cowardly religious fanatics. Pete Martin of Brooklyn's Rescue 2 and one of the family of Sixgunner.Com died in that attack. This tribute was put on the website in his honor.

Those who oppose the war on terrorism please do not write or comment. When I think of those men and women who jumped to their deaths rather than burn; the brave Firemen, Police and Rescue people and those "average" citizens who gave their lives trying to save others, those of you who oppose our fighting terrorism make me want to puke.
Please do not try to justify your stand to me. And please do not make any comments on our Forum about it. Just shut up. Today we remember greatness.
