I never knew that someone with the same last name as mine passed away during this event. My last name is very uncommon especially in the Mexican community. RIP LT
– Leonel MojicaI met Lt. Mojica years ago in the Bronx at the home of his best friend Mario. He was handsome, kind, and focused on others as opposed to himself. He was a protector with a great big heart. Thank you for your service and most honorable sacrifice.
– Sonja WoodDennis was a highly respected professional.
At the time of his passing few people in the world had his combination of knowledge, experience and the ability to perform under pressure.
I had the honor of knowing Dennis in the last years before 9/11.
I miss Dennus and will remember him always.

– Danrest in peace. you were my uncle and i never got to meet you.
– Saia MojicaI was at his funeral. It was a sad day that everyone who could fit into St. Patrick’s Cathedral squished their way as close to the front as possible. I remember how the Country came together at this time. It’s been 19 years and still the memory burns. I pray for him and his family as well as all of the emergency services people. Can Never Forget.

– Eileen CarlosI met Dennis at the International Fire-Fighters Conference in Dallas, TX in 2000. He was very friendly, kind and sincere about his career as a firefighter. I was saddened to hear of the passing of this remarkable firefighter on 9/11 along with all others that lost their lives.
– Debra A WilsonI ran my first 5K today and I was the one honored to bear your name across my chest. I dedicated this run this run to you. My strength comes from the Lord, but you were heavy on my mind. The epitome of a warrior. I wanted to stop for a break but I knew you didn’t have the opportunity to stop. Maybe you did, but you chose to give it your all, so I gave it my all. I will work tirelessly to try to fill the shoes of the rare breed of great men like you. Thank you for being a point of light.
I will never forget. 09/11/2021
