Among the list of tragedies that sends an entire community into mourning, the loss of firefighters comes in somewhere on top. In a city like Charleston, loosing nine of it's bravest in one day, in one fire, is something that small city is unprecedented.

Here in New York unfortunately, it is not. We know how it feels to see many of our bravest fall...yes, by God, we New Yorkers do know a little something about that.
