John Vigiano Sr. is a retired New York City firefighter whose two sons followed him into service—John Jr. was a firefighter, too, and Joe was a police detective. On September 11, 2001, both Vigiano brothers responded to the call from the World Trade Center, and both were killed while saving others. Here, John Sr. remembers his sons and reflects on coping with his tremendous loss.

    Keep doing what you're doing. The voices, the stories, remind me of those I don't get to hear anymore that I would give anything to hear one more story from. I tune in every so often to hear these touching stories. They are humbling, moving, and touch a part of the soul everyone needs to revisit often. Thank you for continuing to share these!
