Tom
Armas By: Rich Perillo “Tom Armas is a Special Agent in the Secret Service. On September 11th, after helping to evacuate the Agency's New York Field Office at Seven World Trade Center, he proceeded into the damaged North Tower and up the stairwell to the 40th floor, where he worked to help the seriously wounded. “After being turned back by raging fire, he continued his efforts in the North Tower lobby, and then on the street. Eventually, Tom was forced to evacuate the area because of thick smoke and, of course, falling debris. Yet, even while leaving, he continued to help others. In the midst of chaos, he was a calm and steady soldier, at one point carrying a woman to the safety of a nearby emergency vehicle. “You see, this is the meaning of public service, as you all have shown the American people. A willingness to go the limit, and then some more, for the sake of your fellow citizens. Tom, thank you very much for your service to the country.” -- President Bush during a speech to Federal Employees on Homeland Security on July 10, 2002, at DAR Constitution Hall, Washington, D.C.
