I thought this might be a thread about Dick Cheney....

LMAO

 

[Mermaid02]

LOL..... glad it was a legitimate good news story!

Good story. It's nice to hear some good stuff lately. I hope he recovers enough to tell him family what happened.

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

The poor guy. He's been in hospital a long time. I hope he gets well enough to get out soon, but they did state he has health problems. Unbelievable story.

 

[supercarrie]

Wow!

I would have thought that every single John Doe would have been accounted for before now.

But I am really glad they found him.

 

[olena]

Incredible!

 

[CookieGVB]

How sad that he doesn't seem to know his family. Nice to see some good news, though.

 

[nativetxn]

I hope he can recover enough to know his family. How sad for them and for him too.

 

[LemonDietCoke]

God bless him and his family.

 

[ead79]

Oh my! His family must be so relieved. I pray he recovers enough to remember his family.

That's wonderful news. You know, I wonder just how many more are in hospitals or elsewhere without their families knowing.

 

[Banzai]

That is great news for his family! I hope he recovers soon.

 

[C.Ann]

Wow! That's pretty amazing! Wouldn't it be great if they found more folks alive that are presumed dead?

 

[luvdsny]

Wowzers! I often wonder about 'the missing'. Are they really missing? Interesting story. Thanks for sharing it.

 

[glo]

What an incredible story...The family must be so grateful to have him alive and what a good attitude for them to have, Hope he recovers and remember his family!!!

That is really odd. Nice news, but strange. I mean, if someone close to you was missing THAT long in the attacks, would you not have applied for the death certificate by now or searched all the information availableon unidentified people? And would hospitals not have made public appeals if someone's identity was still not know that long after 9/11? I guess it goes to show there is always hope, I'm just still trying to grasp 1)the idea of someone being missing from my family that long and not getting 'closure" which I guess is still an issue for many 9/11 victims' families but also - 2) The administrators of a NY hospital having a "John Doe" for that long after the attacks without it being cross--referenced with a missing person list. Maybe I'm beign unrealistic. Like I said, I think it is happy news, it just boggles my mind a bit.
