FDNY Members Who Lost Brother On 9/11 Receive Promotions
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The FDNY promoted nearly 100 of its members Friday.
Among them were two brothers with a special reason for joining the force.
Sean and William Heeran lost their brother, Charlie, during the September 11th terror attacks. He was 23 years old and had been working at Cantor Fitzgerald.
FDNY's Promotion Ceremony is underway in East New York. 91 members are moving up the ladder, including 2 brothers. One of whom had a twin who died on 9/11 while working in the North Tower. His death inspired them to join the FDNY following in their fathers footsteps. @CBSNewYork pic.twitter.com/0UR5cMqQlA
