FOP President " So here we all are – the good guys – the knights in shining armor. I look around at those who are here today, and I wish we could clone you. We still need more people like you – selfless and generous with your time and hearts. But we also need the other guys here – those who need the motivation to help continue to live as a positive example for your friends and family.
Thank you for coming"
Among my team he is one of those who worked straight hours on camera without any pause, breaks or complains. I really thank you, Zubair, Asim, Afzal and other friends, members in my crew who drove down specially from San Fran, and other cities, to give me a hand on 59th Independence day Celebration.
With sudden disappearence of Abrar and his team we were speechless and came on spot infront of community. With sleepless nights during the last week of the show, he was there, when I or any of the team member needed. Either it was office time , or late as 3am in the morning, a positive approach responsed was observed, remained a key person designing flyers, adds or presentation. Honestly its really hard to find a true friend who is there when you really need. A freind who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
5ABI, You been a model for volunteerism. I know I am kind of late and ashmed not replying in earlire post related to LA event, but still need to publicly thank friends, those behind the scenes of 14 August event, broadcasted live around 123 countires and local channels NBC, CH18 Ch 34 and Telemundo.Award Ceremony was telecast this weekend on Ch 18 and Geo TV ( Safeer Pakistan Program ).
You made my job easier and was a huge help to organize our Independence Day we host for the community. I believe in sharing, what you hear to continue to inspire others. We live in a world where there is so much hate and greed, but the abundance of positive acts and decency just in our own little township trumps negativity every time.
Thank you my friend!
Regards,
YKKB.
