“John Giordana”
For time:
37 Squat Cleans (185/135)

This Firefighter Hero WOD is dedicated to John Giordano, FDNY, Engine 37, who was killed on September 11, 2001.
John J. Giordano was the quiet guy in the back who didn’t say much but had a strong presence, felt in his family and his community. A love of music and environmental studies were in his life that was devoted to his wife and children.
The 47-year-old Newburgh, N.Y., resident and Staten Island native was writing his master’s thesis in environmental science at Bard College. It was an interest that had motivated him to transfer to the Haz Mat (Hazardous Material) 1 Special Operations Battalion, Engine 37 Battalion II, 3rd Division.
