“ After the cancellation of the election, Brown was sent to guard a hospital. The 29-year-old lieutenant did not step on Ground Zero that morning, but he participated in the hardest part: The search for survivors. Brown joined thousands of firefighters and police officers in “bucket brigades,” collecting debris in buckets. For 10 hours, the New Jersey native searched the rubble for any signs of human life. All police officers in the area, including those on leave made the trip to Ground Zero to assist the rescue efforts. ”
