NYPD chief: 9/11 heroes’ legacy lives on in every generation of officers

Comments

1. Talia: What struck me was how empty the new wall in Staten Island seemed compared to this one - a symbol just as much as the officers
2. Junepetrov: tough to put into words how this wall still hits me. my dad was a firefighter in the city back then. always felt like we lost more than just our brothers and friends
3. Frost Vector: You can't sentimentalize your way out of a bureaucratic nightmare like the one that led to hundreds more cops dying from WTC illnesses after the initial 23. Where's accountability?
4. Selimn: you think a plaque keeps their legacy alive? how many actual policies have been put in place to protect the living?
5. Ravi: it's surreal to think about the weight they carry
6. Kian: reminded me of my uncle who was a firefighter in the city for over 20 years - he still carries the weight of what happened that day in his own quiet way
7. Mirage Nomad: that sense of sacrifice always hits me when I see this kinda thing - seems like it's seeped into every layer of law enforcement now
8. Adam: i've seen that wall in person, still gives me chills every time I think about what those officers went through
