FDNY BOOKS
- Thread starter nfd2004
- Start date
I continue to read these books with amazement.
The amount of fire activity that those FDNY War Years Firefighters dealt with over those years was UNBELIEVABLE.
I am very thankful that each of these books mentioned in this thread documents the stories and the photos that went on back then by what has been referred to as "The GREATEST GENERATIONS OF FIREFIGHTERS".
We fortunate to have many of those FDNY WAR YEARS FIREFIGHTERS with us on this website
Also lets not forget those FDNY Dispatchers who did an OUTSTANDING JOB during those very busy FDNY WAR YEARS
We have some of those authors/photographers here with us as well.
But along the way, there has been some very famous songs to include photos and videos in which tell the story of these firefighters.
Somewhere throughout this web site they can be found, but I thought this would be a Great Place to bring them together for those who may not have seen them.
Here are those songs and videos:
Just click on the link.
1) "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies.

2) "One Moment In Time" by Whitney Houston

3) "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra (note - his father was the Chief of the Hoboken, N.J. Fire Department)
