I was born in Manhattan. I still have not been able to go back to visit this site. I held my USMC Retirement on 11/09/2001 as a symbolic gesture. One day, I will get over my anger and visit the site... ( sigh )

I'm sorry this comes so late, but better late than never they say. I live in Bell Park Gardens, 1 block over from Ron's parents. I've walked by the apartment many times and I always become sad, thinking that such a great son, in his prime and serving his city, lost his life in such a horrible way. It's totally senseless. I didn't know Ron and I do not know his parents, but they must have been 2 lucky people to have known such a hero, a man who lost his life helping others. My continued condolences to all of Ron's family...God Bless Ron, God Bless you and God Bless America.

I sincerely and truly hope that Marshall Bucca's family, especially his daughter and son had a wonderful Christmas in 2006. May the Bucca family know that Marshal Bucca will not be forgotten - period. He gave his life to save others, what a man he was.

Dear Ron:
It is my intention, to write a reflection to each and every one of you who gave all, that fateful day. It is the least that I could do, and it is done with the utmost respect and admiration.
In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, "Never before, have so few done so much, for so many". Ron, you have raised the bar for others to copy, in our dedicated commitment to protect our fellow countrymen.
As a result of your bravery and sacrifice, along with all our other fallen brothers, 25,000 innocent people were spared from the certain death they faced. If ever there was a hero, you, Ron, exemplify the word.
And your sacrifice should serve as a stern warning to our enemies, at home and abroad: that they will NEVER overcome what it means to be an American. If they thought that they could demoralize our people, our military, and our police officers, with their acts of murder and cowardice, then they truly have underestimated the spirit in each of us. As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, "We SHALL overcome".
Ron, for all eternity, future law enforcement officers in this great nation, will be able to look at you and all the rest, in awe. For you are STILL, one of America's Finest. Ours, is the most noble of professions, to "serve and protect", even at enormous sacrifice. And you have made us all proud. May God bless you, your family, our police officers, and God Bless America. Amen

I meet Ron at Battle Staff Academy Army Reserves, Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA. He helped me through the course and we became good friends. Ron told me of his job as a Search/Rescue Diver for the NYFD. Ron was dedicated to helping others, we all could learn from him. Ron gave me a Shirt from his Ladder Company which I had sewn on the back of my jacket. I will NEVER forget such a great friend, God Bless your family.
