Post; letterman quote??


Hi, some one please help me on this.
when i was in my MOS school, i remember i saw a good quote, it was something like this:

the New York's bravest - NYFD
the New York's finest - NYPD
and (xxxxxxx) - USMC, after all, USMC is going to take care of this matter?

well, something like that, i really like it. i've been searching all over the internet for the original quote, but couldn't find it. I think, I THINK it was from David Letterman too. Some one please help me to find the complete quote on this. Thank you

"I have three new Heroes now. They are...

New York's Bravest, the firefighters,

New York's Finest, the cops,

and the United States Marine Corps.

Because, as you know, before this thing is finished, it will be the Marine Corps that will go in and settle the score."

One of the more moving quotes in recent history. What makes it stick with me is that it was David Letterman, the biggest goofballs on late night TV. He broke the ice post-9/11 and help set the course for public recovery.

And it will never be the Marines, or the Army, or the Navy, or the Air Force on their own. We all work together, so they all pay the price together.
