On behalf of all of us at New England O4rthotic and Prosthetic Systems (NEOPS) I want to thank the many suppliers, competitors, colleagues, etc who have called to find out if we are OK. Yes, thank God, we are all safe and sound. Unfortunately I and other members of the NEOPS family have lost some good friends due to the World Trade Center attack. We are in shock!!
We extend our prayers and condolences to the victims and their families of Tuesday's attacks. Thoughts of hope, strength, and courage also go out to the emergency rescue and medical teams working around the clock to save lives in NYC and Washington, D.C. As we await for news of survivors and mourn the incomprehensible losses from this horrific event, all of us at NEOPS join the nation in prayer and hope.
