Thirteen of this Year’s New NYFD Fire Fighters are Children of Firefighters who Died on 9/11

by

This is an amazing story. Not the sort we get to share often enough. The latest class of New York City Firefighters includes thirteen who had a parent who was a firefighter that died during 9/11. 

The latest class is made up of the largest group of so-called “legacy” probies in FDNY history — 21 in total, including some whose first-responder parents were killed by illness related to their work at Ground Zero.

“Today, these 21 legacies are no longer children,” Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro told the 301 graduates and their families during the emotional ceremony at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn.

It’s nice to share an uplifting story once and a while. Check out the NY Post for the details on the thirteen who followed in their deceased parent’s footsteps. Folks who were in or at the World Trade Center trying to save lives when they lost their own.
