What a magnificent Hero!
Was he actually a Firefighter because she mentions his office at the WTC. Perhaps he was a ‘volunteer’?
he was a trader
Julie, he had volunteered at 16 as a village firefighter. Then when he got the trading job and worked it for awhile, he really didn’t like sitting in front of a computer all day, and told his father he was thinking of changing careers to become a firefighter.
Don’t miss the first the video from ESPN. It’s so beautifully done.

He’s still on my heart today .. I’m in awe of his selflessness, valor and compassion. It’s like all his life and experiences were preparing him for this one momentous day and his ordained mission.
He didn’t hesitate to put others before himself in those harrowing moments of life and death, and truly exemplifies the words hero and angel. It’s the pain and sorrow of those who loved him and have him no more that hurts so deeply, but you sense he wouldn’t have made any other decision. It was just always in him.
What wonderful parents, to have raised this angel of a fine, young man. God comfort them.
