This hits extremely close to home for many reasons. For those who know Port Chester Firefighter Ryan Cantatore (currently stateside but previously served over there), he was in his unit.

RIP. Thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your service.

This guy had it all. A good job, great family,a nice house, and gave it all up to protect us from terrorists. He didn't do it because he had to, he did it because he wanted to. RIP.
