33:18Now PlayingFDNY firefighter Rob Serra's first day on the job was 9/11. Twenty-plus years later, he's watching his brothers die three or four times a week from 9/11 illnesses — 257 FDNY gone, close to 500 NYPD, thousands more — and asking the country the question nobody in power wants to answer: if you really meant "never forget," where have you been for two decades? Paul Rieckhoff and Rob connect the broken promise made to 9/11 first responders to the broken promise made to Afghans and Afghanistan veterans, get into the moral injury that binds them, and land on a message his eight-year-old son forced him to live by: get up, do the work, and don't be a dick.
