WHY WE MUST NEVER FORGET!
 Mr. Dennis Smith
Retired New York City firefighter and bestselling writer volunteered to help with rescue efforts shortly after the jets hit the towers at the World Trade Center. An 18-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, and Founding editor of Firehouse Magazine, Smith arrived to find that many of New York's elite fire squads and many of his close friends were buried beneath the rubble. In the hours, days and weeks that followed, Smith participated in the search for survivors, recording his own observations as well as the stories and experiences of his fellow rescue workers.
His journals and interviews provide the basis of his new book, Report From Ground Zero: The Story of the Rescue Efforts at the World Trade Center (2002). The first half of the book is an oral history of the event comprised of first-person accounts by rescue workers who were at the scene. The second half is composed of Smith's journal entries and subsequent reflections.
