## Resource

A former NYC firefighter, James Murphy, shares his raw, firsthand account of volunteering at Ground Zero after 9/11—spending 20 grueling hours digging through rubble—while speaking to Hempfield High School students who were too young to remember the attacks. He uses these visits, especially around anniversaries, as a way to process grief, honor fallen comrades, and ensure history isn’t forgotten. Carrying photos of lost friends and recounting funerals, Murphy connects with students to instill remembrance and respect, emphasizing that understanding the past’s pain is vital for building a stronger future. As the 25th anniversary approaches, his story adds profound humanity to national commemorations at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville.
