You got the job done brother. Your dedication and valor even during those trying times at Ground Zero meant alot to the residents of New York and others around the world. You will always be respected and honored for what you stood for. A true American Hero and dedicated Law Enforcement Officer in every sense of the word. May the Good Lord Bless and keep thee...and watch over your family and fellow Officers at NYPD. God Bless Bro, and we will meet again on the Good Lords streets!

Detective Zadroga: How sad to learn of your death after all that time you spent looking for the victims only to become one of them. God bless you as you watch from Heaven. You can keep an eye on your daughter. At only 4, she will need you up above to keep her safe. I was only 4 when my Daddy didn't come home from his shift and it really affected me.

To all the other LEOs in NYPD, please take care of his daughter so she knows she is not alone and so that she learns what a hero her Daddy was!!

Thank you Det. Zadroga for your willingness to go into harm's way to rescue others and may God bring justice to the terrorists who did this to you and all the other innocent victims that died as a result of 9/11/01.

You are loved and appreciated.

Love, prayers and hugs,

Love, Your new Aunt in California

What a terrible tragedy. This very brave man worked diligently to save the lives of others, escaped death only to die a slower death due to terrorism.

God Bless the NYPD, the NYFD and all those who protect the City.

God Bless his family, and the baby he leaves behind with his brave legacy.
