Father and Son at Ground Zero | Miami News

On 9/11/2001, 72 Miami firefighters answered the call — including 24-year-old Robert Suarez and his father, both battling chaos at Ground Zero.

Both men see firefighting as sacred duty — Robert carries on his father’s legacy, honoring sacrifice in service, even as illness mirrors the fires they once fought.
