This is Tommy

Published 9/11/06

Filed under: Miscellaneous

This is Tommy Holohan. His sister is married to my brother.

Tommy was a firefighter at Engine Company 6, in lower Manhattan. It was one of the first responders on 9/11. Tommy was one of four from the company that didn’t make it out.

No long eulogies. Plenty of those around. Let me say this, though: Never forget that while we are all running out, these people are running in.

And little could make me prouder than to have my son one say say to me, “Daddy, I want to be a fireman.”

America prevails.
