StoryCorps, a non-profit organization, defines its mission statement as “provid[ing] Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives.” Their latest animated venture is a retelling of a story from retired firefighter John Vigiano Sr..

Vigiano’s two sons, Joe and John Jr., were a police detective and a firefighter, respectively. Both of them responded to the call on 9/11, and died while saving others in the wreckage. StoryCorps animates Vigiano’s story in a truly moving fashion.

    I guess because I have two sons this was amazingly powerful. I really have no words. God Bless you sir.

    That was an excellent tribute to fallen family members.  I’m sure both sons are looking down at Dad and smiling right now.  They truly served their country in its time of need.
