Daniel T. Suhr‚ 37‚ firefighter‚ FDNY‚ Engine 216. For Suhr‚ firefighting was a family tradition. His father was a career firefighter and his brother became a firefighter as well. Born and raised in Brooklyn‚ Suhr was the captain of both the James Madison High School baseball and football teams. As an adult‚ the 16-year FDNY veteran was nicknamed Captain America because he was always watching out to keep everyone safe‚ particularly his beloved 2-year old daughter. The South Shore High School football team‚ which Suhr helped to coach‚ dedicated its 2001 season to him.

It was an honor to wear his name, and whenever I got tired and wanted to quit I just looked down at my sheet of paper with Daniels name and picture on it, and remembered who I was doing it for. After a lot of hard work I completed the climb for Daniel. It was exhausting work but I completed it feeling a sense of pride and joy for Daniel. Thank you for you’re service and hard work. I would also like to send prayers to Daniels family and make sure that everyone knows how incredibly heroic Daniel and so many others that lost there lives trying to help people on 9/11 are.
