For the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, this podcast tells 20 stories of heroism that will make sure our country doesn't forget that fateful day and its meaning. Our host Niels Jorgensen served as an FDNY firefighter for almost 22 years until a forced medical retirement because of the leukemia he contracted from cleaning up Ground Zero. Niels also drove the truck in the Emmy-nominated Rescue Me with Denis Leary.
FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller ran through a closed tunnel with 60 lbs of gear on his back and gave up his life to save others. Now, hundreds of thousands have raced in his footsteps and tens of millions have been raised for charity in his name. Frank Siller, President of Tunnel to Towers Foundation, tells the story of his brother, an American hero.
