Description
Dr. Jeanette welcomes Gerald 'Jerry' Sanford, a retired New York City firefighter and policeman, to share his new book It Started with a helmet: A Retired Firefighter's Return to New...
show moreA firefighter retires from FDNY and finds a helmet that he decides should be returned to the Ladder Co 42 of which it originated. The lifetime of service, honor and respect that a helmet symbolizes was memorialized on September 10, 2001, the day before 9/11. A soul was brought 'home' and little did Jerry know about the bigger picture of bringing all the people together at the firehouse, that this would be their last day together in a celebration. They were all killed the day after on 9/11.
As we approach the 20 year anniversary of this event, might we stop for the day and honor all the souls who gave up their lives in the attack, those who sought to help and rescue people in distress and those who are still suffering the pain of loss and grief in their hearts to this day.
We honor all people of service, the families and loved ones who gave of their lives and hearts, and the city of New York that was forever changed by the attacks on its people.
We will never forget. As the helmet brought together people to remember, we too remember the souls of all beings affected by this tragedy.
Much love and honor to you all. Dr. Jeanette
