"Iconic 9/11 Firefighter Bob Beckwith Dies at 91"

Bob Beckwith, the retired New York City firefighter who stood with President George W. Bush atop a fire truck in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, has passed away at 91. Beckwith, a symbol of strength and resilience, rushed to Ground Zero to help after the attacks, and his iconic image with President Bush became a symbol of fortitude. In his later years, he remained an activist for firefighters and was immortalized in wax at the Presidential Wax Museum near Mount Rushmore.
