Firefighter Father Recalls Losing Sons On 9/11

I thought I had somehow missed NPR's StoryCorps yesterday morning. It usually runs right around 7:30 AM so I was wondering what was going on when the familiar opening tune began at 7:46 AM or 8:46 EST, exactly the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center. To commemorate the anniversary of 9/11, StoryCorps featured John Vigiano Jr. recalling the loss of both his sons. One was a police officer while the other was a Fireman like his father. Vigiano is obviously a strong man and, as a parent, I can't imagine the depths of his pain at the death of both his boys. If you missed it then check it out at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112676905 .
