On today’s episode of the ITBR, I’m joined by author Neil Adams. His memoir, From The Pile: A 9/11 First Responder’s Story, recounts the events that took place at Ground Zero on September 11th. From The Pile tells the true story of Michael Dorian — a man who faced stigma, illness, and loss yet continued to choose compassion.
When the world changed on September 11, 2001, Michael ran toward danger to help others. That act of service defined his legacy and revealed the depth of his courage.
We had a powerful discussion remembering the lives lost that day, the long term ramifications of the health of thousands of New Yorkers and the War on Terror that soon followed that brought unspeakable damage to the people of Iraq.
