Children Of 9/11 Firefighters Graduate From FDNY Academy
The children of firefighters who died on 9/11 are following in their parents’ footsteps by becoming firefighters themselves.
This week, 19 children of 9/11 firefighters graduated from the FDNY academy. They’re part of a graduating class of 301 that will be assigned to firehouses across New York City.
That includes siblings Marc and Rebecca Asaro, who both remember their father Carl never returning from Ground Zero. Rebecca said “I feel like my dad’s with me every step of the way.”
Do you know anyone whose life was directly affected by 9/11? Are we taking good enough care of the victims’ families?
