MEDFORD, Ore. Obamas visit to Ground Zero hit home for several local fire fighters Thursday.
Kurt Bennett with Medford Fire and Rescue says the Presidents visit and interaction with victims families demonstrates compassion to the lives sacrificed during the attacks. Bennett says it brought some much needed closure to the attacks that happened 10 years ago.
His interactions with the family brought some closure and had he not done that, it wouldve been very disappointing to me, he said.
Hundreds of fire fighters lost their lives on 9-11 and Bennett says this is a day when he can reflect on the courage of his brothers.
Local fire fighters say they appreciate Obamas visit and say it was a step in the right direction.
