Stephen J. Saraniero, a Sergeant of the New York Police Department, was working in New York City five years ago today. He survived the day's events, managing to get a few blocks away from ground zero when the towers fell. During the days and weeks that followed he, along with other members of the NYPD, took turns working 18-hour shifts in what I can only imagine was a living nightmare. Unfortunately, Stephen passed away less than 2 years later from a heart attack that doctors suspect was the result of intense levels of physical and mental stress. He was my uncle, only 42 years old, and he is deeply missed.
