On this 9/11 anniversary episode of The Resilient Life, host Ryan Manion sits down with former FDNY firefighter Tim Sullivan, who served on the frontlines during the September 11th attacks. Tim recounts the harrowing realities of that day, the resilience required in the months and years that followed, and the challenges of healing while carrying the weight of loss.
In 2006, Tim had the opportunity to meet Ryan’s brother, 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC, when Travis visited Sullivan’s firehouse in New York City. Just one year later, Travis was killed in Iraq while protecting his fellow Marines. Tim reflects on that connection and how the legacies of Travis and the many heroes of 9/11 continue to inspire him today.
This conversation is a moving reminder of the sacrifices made on 9/11 and the enduring strength of our first responders and veterans.
