This time I believe Jerry Morgan has gone too far.

First of all, why only the firefighters?

I find it hard to believe he's never seen a police car, sheriff car, NYSEG or Verizon vehicle at a restaurant, local sporting event or some other inappropriate place.

I don't point this out as criticism - as a former Verizon employee, I tolerated the disgusted looks for years while I was on my legal coffee break or lunch hour.

Due to the needs of the business, you can't always use your personal vehicle.

If my house was on fire during that party, I would prefer the trucks were right there - no time wasted going back to the station.

Secondly, the most upsetting part of his letter to me was his withholding of the Petrosino name.

I'm sure he knew he couldn't stir as many people up if they knew who the party was for.

Anyone that knows what this family has recently been through, was glad to see her dad's friends there, showing their love and support.

Most of all, reminding her how proud her dad is that she held it together and graduated and accomplished all he and her mom could ever want.

But then, most of us let our hearts enter into our thought process.
