Lt. Thomas O’Hagan, age 43, New York Fire Department- Appointed 07/11/81
Place killed: World Trade Center. Resident of Bronx, New York, N.Y. (USA).
Survived by: A wife and two sons.
On the day of September 11, 2001, Lt. Thomas O’Hagan was acting as substitute Lieutenant for Engine 6 in New York. After returning from an assistance call to an elderly woman, Lt. O’Hagan and others on his team heard the explosion as the first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Lt. O’Hagan moved into action immediately, sending out a 10-60 disaster signal that his men raced in response to.
He was one of six men who entered the North Tower before it collapsed, killing him and three other of his men among the many who did not make it out.
Almost a year to the month, Lt. O’Hagan had been promoted to lieutenant, having acted as a firefighter from the age of 23. He died for the sake of others, serving the country bravely. He put his life in the line time and time again, and he no doubt saved numerous lives during his twenty years of service as a firefighter.

I grew up with and hung out with Tom. He was a great guy who came from a great family. He was known as Rocky for most of his life. Words can’t explain how much I appreciate what he did on that day, but every day. We miss ya Rocky.
Does this post make you patriotic?
Response: Haha, no. It’s not about America, it’s about a person.
Thank you for this glimpse into what made Tom who he was. He will always be remembered by his family and friends, but now by me and any one else who sees this entry.
Rest well Tom,
Blessings,
Auntie Lyn
