20 for 20

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.

I have been truly blessed to have found this podcast. I was in an inservice class for work and we were told by the instructor to check the podcast out. I can not find the appropriate word to describe how I have enjoyed this podcast. I know enjoyed is a very bad word to describe what I have been listening too, but… I don’t know how to say it was very well done, heartbreaking, inspiring, and interesting all at the same time. I have suggested this podcast to so many people and re-told stories that I have listened too. I was in high school when 9/11 happened and I agree when folks were saying that anyone not born or very young don’t understand the magnitude of what happened that day and the weeks, months and years to follow. I am finding this podcast after the survey has concluded, so I am not able to put my input that way, so I will leave it here in case someone still reads this. If, you plan on doing this again, a person to interview would be the 911 dispatchers. That insight would be very interesting to hear. Has a 911 dispatcher myself, I can hope to never have to experience the devastation that they must have felt that day. I pray to everyone and anyone who was affected by 9/11. 🇺🇸

God Had a Reason

I listened to the 4 of 6 firefighters of Engine Co 114 share of their experiences on the ground of 9-11, riveted to my phone. I felt like I sat at the table with them. They spoke as a unit listening including each other. The stories made me cry. My neighbor Ron a firefighter in Antioch joined and drove across country the following days in a brigade of engines to help in the devastation. I live in Northern California. Now I know why Ron went. These stories are of the most unusual family - a brotherhood that spans the country, determined to help each other when duty calls. They’re selfless, willing to die to protect the lives of citizens they do not know. They need to tell their stories of what really happened on 9-11. A way to grieve and remember and to love one another. Today I heard, “God had a reason why we lived that day” I am struck by the transparency and loyalty of these men in their stories. I pray for your suffering through cancer from that day. May God’s angels surround and comfort you. God bless you for your testimonies. Our children need to know your stories. Brenda Davis Antioch CA
