And this morning I got to see my son score a goal for the first time.
For former New York firefighter Rob Serra, hockey gave him back his sense of normalcy after the attacks on 9/11. We sat down with Rob in 2020 to talk about his experience that day and what hockey means to him. @SerraRob | #NeverForget

Friends - See you Monday DC! We are far from done. We won this week, and no celebrating. Now back to legislation. You either support H.R.1410 & S.739 ($3 billion for the WTCHP) or you don't. Either way we will get this done. We don't lose! #DCIsMyPlayGround #YouWorkForUs

When we went back the next day to go over what happened the floor of the room I was in was completely burned through. At the very least he save me from attempting to bail out of a 5th floor window. But it could have ended much worse than that. I found him in the street/
