Today's NY Post reports a sad trend in the FDNY. Traditionally, firefighters take care of the widows and children of their comrades who die in the line of duty. That continued in 9/11. But several of the helpers--the liaisons for the grief-stricken families--have abandoned their own families in favor of the widows.
Here's the main article: FDNY wives get burned. The same edition also has a couple stories that accompany the one I linked to.
It's a shame for so many reasons.
