Officer of the Week – Sergeant John Gerard Coughlin

Sergeant John Gerard Coughlin
Shield 375

August 4, 2009
Editor’s Note: We at the Chronicle, will never forget those police officers, who have given their lives in 9/11. Each week we will honor one with their stories.
This week we feature:
Sergeant John Gerard Coughlin
Shield 3751
ESS-4
John G. Coughlin was a giving man, and that kept him very busy.
Sergeant Coughlin, 43, was with the emergency services unit of the New York Police Department. In his spare time, he was a volunteer firefighter in Pomona, N.Y., where he lived with his family. “He was always on the go,” said his wife, Patricia Coughlin.
He was good at spoiling his three daughters, Erin, 16, Tara, 13, and Kayla, 6. He took them parasailing, white-water rafting and to amusement parks. He took them to baseball games, but there was a slight complication. He was a Mets fan and all three girls are Yankees fans — Mrs. Coughlin is neutral — and so they went to both stadiums. When the Yankees played the Mets in the World Series, well, that got a little tense.
A former Marine, Sergeant Coughlin was active in the Rockland County detachment of the Marine Corps League, helping older veterans and doing honor guard duty at funerals. “He loved that,” his wife said. “Once a Marine, always a Marine.” One of his favorite times was the middle of December, when he would take a week’s vacation to work on the Marine Toys for Tots Program. “He was a firm believer that every kid should have a toy for Christmas,” Mrs. Coughlin said.

Firefighter of the Week – Lt. Stephen Gary Harrell
August 9, 2009 by Kim

By Alysha Sideman

He loved his family, his job and making music, and was loved for his sense of humor, quick wit and kind heart.
His family came first, but Stephen Harrell had two other loves — firefighting and music.
When he attended the funeral of another firefighter, he was so moved he wrote a song about it. The lyrics were about the people and children the fireman left behind.
Ironically, it is now a song about his own family.
As the lieutenant on duty Sept. 11 at Ladder Co. 10, located across from the World Trade Center, Mr. Harrell and his fellow firefighters were some of the first to respond to Tower 1 after it was attacked.
He is now listed among the missing. Reports placed him in the center staircase of Tower 1, somewhere between the 30th and 40th floors.
Compounding the hardship for his family, his older brother, Harvey, 49, a lieutenant with Rescue Co. 5, Concord, is also missing.
Mr. Harrell’s dream was to have one of his songs recorded professionally said his wife, Meghan. Fortunately, he made amateur recordings of many of his songs and some of his friends are now trying to make that dream come true.
“Having a part of him — even if it is just his voice — really helps. It will help to carry on his memory for our daughter. It gives me something tangible to hold on to,” Mrs. Harrell said.
Writing songs was cathartic for Mr. Harrell and now listening to them will be for his wife and his daughter.
“He saw a lot of people pass away in his lifetime. This is how he dealt with it,” Mrs. Harrell added. And his musical talents weren’t just confined to singing and songwriting.
As a young man, he took music classes at the College of Staten Island, and later he filled his home and surrounded his wife with all kinds of music — and three pianos.
“He was a wonderful musician. There wasn’t an instrument he couldn’t pick up and play by ear. He played the saxophone, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, baritone horn and piano,” she said.
On their wedding day, he sang Eric Clapton’s classic “Wonderful Tonight” to his wife in front of all the guests.
Born in Plant City, Fla., he was brought to Midland Beach before his first birthday, and moved to Westerleigh in 1993 as a newlywed. After seven years there, the couple settled in Warwick, N.Y.
A 15-year veteran of the Fire Department, Mr. Harrell, 44, was the officer on duty with “probies” on Sept. 11. His career choice may have been prompted by his older brother, Harvey, but firefighting was also in his blood.
“They were six in the family, including Stephen, and all very close. He was best friends with Harvey and Dave,” said Mrs. Harrell. “But he was always helping people. It was part of his personality. He was also fearless. He was a natural (firefighter).”
Before he was promoted to lieutenant in 1998, he had worked as a firefighter in Brooklyn at Ladder Co. 122, Engine Co. 255 and Ladder Co. 157.
“Stephen was not only my brother, he was one of my lifelong best friends, along with my other brother, Lt. Harvey Harrell Jr. — who I call Buddy — who also perished in the World Trade Center that day,” said David Harrell. “We were all close in age and closer in life. We grew up together, we became men together and we stayed together. I don’t know if we were more like the Three Musketeers or the Three Stooges, but we were three together, forever.”
Before Stephen Harrell’s daughter, Holly Rae, was born, he was a member of many rock ‘n’ roll bands — singing and playing the saxophone. After she came along, he wrote songs about her and sang to her. He continued to perform for special occasions, including every family wedding and at Fire Department benefits. Mr. Harrell played the baritone horn for the New York City Skyliners Drum and Bugle Corps. He once performed a solo of “Tonight” from “West Side Story” in Roosevelt Field, L.I.
“Stephen was my inspiration in music,” said his sister, Cynthia Casserly. “I plan to play one of his favorite songs, ‘Amazing Grace,’ on my bagpipes at his memorial.”
Mr. Harrell was an avid skier and took part in the Firemen’s Ski Races at Hunter Mountain for many years. He also skied at resorts in Canada, and enjoyed golf and basketball.
“In his young days, he spent many a night playing basketball and football anywhere he and his friends could find an empty lot. It was not about competition or winning. It was about friendship, fun and laughs,” added his brother, David.
Mr. Harrell had a very close relationship with Holly Rae, now 7, and coached her soccer team.
“She embodies everything that is good about Stephen, and that is a whole lot. He was an original. He had an abundance of friends who loved his sense of humor, quick wit and kind heart. A wonderful father and husband, he will always be in our hearts,” said Mrs. Harrell.
In addition to his wife, the former Meghan Truppa; his daughter, Holly Rae; his brother, David, and his sister, Cynthia, surviving are his parents, Miriam and Harvey Lee Harrell Sr.; another brother, William, and another sister, Barbara Lee Harrell.

What is VetDogs?
August 5, 2009 by Kim
Filed under Human Interest
By VetDogs/PIO
August 5, 2009
Helping those who have served our country honorably to live with dignity and independence whether they are visually impaired or have other special needs, by using guide dogs,.
The VetDogs project is a new program from the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. Since its beginning in 1946, the
Foundation has always served the needs of veterans, but it has done so as part of its overall mission to improve the quality of life for people who are blind or visually impaired.
In recent years, the Foundation has come to recognize that as veterans age, and as wounded soldiers return home from the global war on terrorism, there would be a greater need for guide dogs and specialized service dogs to help them maintain mobility and independence.
Thus VetDogs was born. We realized that it was important to consolidate our outreach to disabled veterans to address these increased needs. By building cooperative relationships with the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and by forging strategic partnerships with other guide and service dog schools to widen the options and availability of services to the veteran, we will ensure that disabled veterans receive all the benefits they need to live in dignity and independence.
We will train and supply guide dogs for the visually impaired veteran and service dogs for those who have disabilities other than blindness. In addition, training on Trekker, an orientation aid that uses GPS technology and digital maps to help blind and visually impaired people navigate unfamiliar territory, is also being offered.
The Guide Dog Foundation plans to be the standard by which the military and the VA measure assistance dog providers, and VetDogs is our way of recognizing the sacrifice made by our men and women in uniform
All of our services are provided at no cost to the veteran.

The VetDogs program offers a variety of training services. Please select from the following choices:
