Bob Beckwith
By Mitch Berg
Bob Beckwith was the FDNY firefighter who stood with then-President Bush during one of the moments in my life when I was proudest to be an American.
It occurs to me there’s a generation for whom “FDNY” isn’t instantly mentally associated with tragedy, heroism, and that particular moment 22 years ago.

It’s really great that he lived to be 91. So many of those first responders had their lives cut short from the toxic stuff that was produced. May Bob rest in eternal peace.
