As a FDNY Fire Marshall and a U.S. Army veteran, Ron Bucca did not hesitate to answer the call to serve on September 11th. He climbed up to the 78th floor of the South Tower and attempted to rescue the innocent victims in the impact zone of United Flight 175 before the tower fell. Ron was a prime example of an individual who put others before himself. His heroic actions and service to our nation will never be forgotten. | Congressman Byron Donalds
