Thank God for heros like this brave man. I pray for his family and his soul, and I pray for peace. He did not die in vain. Humanity will prevail.

As a fellow member of the department, and, to all members of his unit as well as his family, my thoughts are with you.

To the family of Lt. Aheam, may you know that your son, husband, brother , father died with honor and lived with honor. He now sings with the angels. May God keep you and yours, always comforted!

I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family of Lt. Ahearn and his fellow firefighters. My husband served on our Fire Dept. for 25 years, retiring as a captain, so I know the great sacrifice these guys make. They are dedicated, as was shown by the ultimate sacrifice they made on September 11. You are in my daily prayers. God bless you all.

God bless him for his valor, his selflessness, his dedication. He is a better person than most of us. We owe him undying gratitude for his sacrifice. May he rest in peace.
