This week’s “60 Minutes” edition had an interesting story about the significant number of 9/11/01 fallen firefighters’ children who have become firefighters themselves and how rewarding it is to do the service in honor of their beloved parents. Gotta respect them all.
I missed most of that. I did see the part where the children had become firefighters, and their progressions through the NYFD.
It doesn’t surprise me about the children becoming firefighters. That’s a strong tradition in NYFD & NYPD families. You’d be truly surprised at the generations of families there are in both services in New York.
Having been raised on Long Island with many friends and family still resident, I can attest that family traditions of public service remain strong. It started with Irish immigrants and has expanded into all family-strong ethnicities.
WOW! You live right in the thick of the tradition! Yes, In my studies of the fdire sewrvice many years agfo, I learned of the Irish immigrants tries to the fire seervice, especially in the NE. It is still just as strong to this very day. Most of the Pubs in that area are Irish Pubs, too, frequented by the firefighters quite regularly! There's one in particular that sustained some damage on 09.11.01, but it was reopened rather quickly. I don't recall the najkme of it, but the owners of it have quite the collection
of patches displayed inside from visiting law enforcement officers and firefighters that worked "The Pile" all those months.
