Officer Kirwan,
On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for service and sacrifice for the citizens of Suffolk County and our Country as well-not just at the World Trade Center site but also when you served with the U.S. Army as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
You walked into it and it took years to finish the job.
Police Officer Kirwan gave the Suffolk County Police Department 33 years.
Thank you for your service to the Yaphank community. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, Police Officer Kirwan.
