For firefighters born after 9/11, a message from those who remember (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a growing share of today’s firefighters, Sept. 11, 2001, is history rather than memory. They know the images, the number 343 and the words “Never Forget,” but they did not experience the confusion, grief and sense of national unity that followed the attacks.
