Brother’s Legacy at Ground Zero | Tampa News

Battalion Chief Brian Muldowney still carries the weight of September 11th — his brother Richie, an FDNY firefighter, was lost in the towers that day. Brian spent months at Ground Zero helping with recovery, honoring Richie’s sacrifice and unwavering courage. Even after 25 years, the pain and pride remain. Richie’s remains were finally identified through DNA years later — a painful but necessary confirmation. Brian believes Richie would have gone to Ground Zero anyway, driven by duty. Now, the Muldowney family champions remembrance, kindness, and gratitude for first responders — especially those who gave everything on 9/11 — through their work with Tunnel to Towers.
