A 9/11 Firefighter's Daughter Turns Grief Into Service, with Caitlin Leavey
Hosted by Rosemary Davies-Janes. Produced by J'aime Rothbard.
FDNY Lieutenant Joseph Leavey's voice on the radio tapes from that morning was calm, steady and in command as he led his men into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

Twenty-five years later, on the anniversary of 9/11, Cait joins us to talk about her clinical work as a therapist to first responders, military veterans and their families.
