🇺🇸 25 Heroes of 9/11 You Don’t Know: #9 Billy Burke
He was 46. Captain of Engine 21 on East 40th Street. He had held the job ten weeks.
William Francis Burke Jr. grew up in Plainview, Long Island, the son of an FDNY deputy chief. He joined the department in 1982. He taught probies at the Rock. He spent 25 summers as a lifeguard at Robert Moses State Park. He lived in Stuyvesant Town and rode his bike to the firehouse. He loved history, especially the Civil War.
On the morning of September 11 he took Engine 21 to the North Tower. His men rode the elevator to the 24th floor and climbed to the 27th.
Then the South Tower came down.
Burke ordered his company out. Meet at the rig, he told them. He would be right behind them.
He was not.
On the 27th floor he found Ed Beyea, a quadriplegic in a wheelchair, and Abe Zelmanowitz, who would not leave his friend. Burke would not leave either of them.
He called a friend who begged him to get out. He told her he was already outside. Then he said the last words she would hear from him.
“This is what I do.”
Every other man from Engine 21 made it out. On the way down they pulled more people with them. Billy Burke was the only one from the company who did not come home.
His remains were never found. He left behind his parents and five brothers and sisters.
He is memorialized at the South Pool on Panel S-18.
Never forget Billy Burke.
A LITTLE OR A LOT — EVERY DONATION HELPS!
I see so many of you asking me, “Danielle, how can I help?” and “Where can I donate?”
You can donate directly through my campaign website.
Whether it’s $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, or more, every dollar helps us keep this movement going.
But let me be clear: THE PEOPLE ARE MY CURRENCY.
I don’t measure the strength of this campaign by big-money donors or the political machine. I measure it by the Chicagoans who stop me on the street, sign my petition, volunteer, donate what they can, share my message, and tell me to keep fighting.
We are out here every single day collecting signatures, meeting Chicagoans, and working to get on the ballot.
So if you’ve been asking how you can help: DONATE. VOLUNTEER. SHARE. SIGN THE PETITION.
A little helps. A lot helps. It ALL helps.
The people are my currency, and WE THE PEOPLE are going to carry this movement all the way to City Hall.

For 25 years, two beams of light have risen above New York City each September 11, a powerful symbol of remembrance, honoring the Twin Towers and the nearly 3,000 people whose lives were lost.
This year, for the first time, the nation will be invited to witness Tribute in Light together.
On Friday, September 11, @ABC will present "9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan," in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The special will air at 8 PM ET across @ABCNetwork, @Disneyplus, @Hulu, @NatGeo, and @ABCNewsLive.
The broadcast will feature live performances from @LaineyWilson and @JohnOndrasik of Five For Fighting at the base of the iconic beams, creating a shared moment of remembrance for audiences across the country.
Join us as the lights rise once again and as we come together, 25 years later, to remember, reflect, and honor the lives and legacy of September 11.
Washington nearly wiped out Maine's lobster industry using flawed data and activist lawsuits. As Chair of the Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee, I am glad the Northeast Lobstermen Protection Act passed the House to give regulators the time they need to get the science right before making decisions that could end an entire industry. 🦞
I STAND WITH CHICAGO’S WORKING MEN AND WOMEN.
@Teamsterslocal700 were downtown making their voices heard, and I hear them.
Working men and women should not have to constantly fight just to be heard, respected, and treated fairly.
As Mayor of Chicago, I will make sure working people have a seat at the table.
My administration will.
• Respect collective bargaining and negotiate in good faith.
• Protect the pensions workers earned.
• Expand apprenticeship and skilled-trades opportunities for Chicagoans.
• Prioritize Chicago citizens for city jobs and workforce opportunities.
• Conduct forensic audits so taxpayers and workers know exactly where their money is going.
• Demand accountability from City Hall while making sure the people actually doing the work are respected.
I believe we can be pro-worker, pro-taxpayer, and fiscally responsible at the same time.
Chicago works because Chicagoans work.
As Mayor, I will never forget the hardworking men and women who keep this city moving every single day.
YOU WILL HAVE A SEAT AT MY TABLE.

Now that satellite images prove that failing bedrock, not a glacier, caused the flooding in Nepal, journalists are blaming melting permafrost. But there’s no evidence for that, either. In truth, scientists and journalists have been lying for decades about climate change and ice.
New York City Police Officer Moira Smith leads the injured Edward Nicholls to safety from the south tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Officer Smith would perish when the south tower collapsed minutes after this photograph was taken while attempting to evacuate others.

@MarkJCarney Oh, so Canada first? That doesn’t sound very inclusive of you. Your Globalist Commie Toads are not going to like that. Careful, you’re starting to sound like Trump, & are in danger of losing your base.😂
