Her father, Anthony McGinty, spent 28 years with the Cleveland Fire Department at station No. 17 off Chester Avenue. He retired in 1982.
“He worked at that station during the Hough Riots at the time,” McGinty said. “It was a very busy active station, and he loved the work. He loved saving people's homes and businesses."
“It's my emotional connection to my father,” McGinty said. “And it was everybody's emotional connection to 9/11, and that memorial, it resonates with all of us… what tragedy happened on that day in the lives lost, especially the firefighters.""I would have never thought that somebody would have taken it from here at the end of the driveway,” McGinty said. “Whether somebody thought that I was putting it out as trash or that I was trying to get rid of it. I don't know.
“No questions asked if you made a mistake,” McGinty said. “This is the memory of a fireman—his fire helmet and his boots. Those things that kept him safe—that I had as a memento of my father's career, and they're gone."
