We Were There: NY/NJ Port Authority Police Salute the NYC Department of Correction

Lt. John Ryan of the Port Authority Police Dept., and William Keegan, Founder of Heart 9/11 give a heart wrenching account of what it was like to work alongside the NYC Department of Correction following the 9/11 tragedy.

I'm feeling emotional, I just want to add that Capt. Gallo myself and several other CO's from C95 Storehouse were there the morning of 9/11. I WILL NEVER FORGET

[@kathleenlydon542]

It's about time the corrections dept was acknowledged, I just wish they would have listed the officers names at the end of the video.

[@alicewatt4154]

What all of you did was heroic beyond belief, risking your own lives and your health to go into that catastrophic situation leaves me feeling great respect for the American spirit

The same young men and women are now being attacked after the Floyd death

[@Wetworks73]

Both Storehouses, ESU, Communications Unit, and other ancillary units responded that morning to what would come to be known as Ground Zero with much-needed staff, supplies, and logistical equipment. It's unfortunate that it has taken so long for officers such as myself to receive the acknowledgement of our service. Thank you to the PAPD for finally bringing it to light. -CO Thomas Torocco, Div 1 Storehouse.
