Sunday's parting shot

Currently on the wall outside the Second Avenue F stop at Houston: A 9/11 tribute to firefighter Robert W. McPadden by Clown Soldier. (H/T William Klayer.)

Robert William McPadden‚ 30‚ firefighter‚ FDNY‚ Engine 23. McPadden was continuing his family's proud tradition of public service when he joined the FDNY. His father had served the department for almost 40 years‚ and his brother and sister are both police officers. While he waited for an opening in the FDNY‚ he earned a graduate degree in criminal justice and played a lot of Jeopardy. He and his wife had just bought a home in Pearl River so they could be closer to family and friends.
