Tonight we welcome Dan Corio, whose life is defined by service, sacrifice, and legacy. Dan is a musician and sharing his music along with his own experiences with the NYPD. Dan represents a full generation of New York Police Department service — a family that has worn the badge, carried the responsibility, and stood watch over the city they love.
On September 11th and in the days that followed, his family and fellow officers were among the first responders called to serve in unimaginable circumstances. Their duty was not a choice — it was a calling. Dan stood as part of that NYPD brotherhood, bearing witness, supporting New Yorkers, and answering the call in one of history’s darkest moments. His dedication earned him a place on the NYPD’s elite Emergency Service Unit Scuba Diving Team — a rare honor, reserved for those with exceptional courage and skill. This achievement highlights the level of commitment and discipline that runs through Dan’s life and his family’s service. Now, Dan carries that same strength and authenticity into everything he does. His journey is not just about one man, but about a family’s enduring legacy of service, a testament to what it means to be there for your community when it matters most. Dan has also built a successful career as an artist in Nashville, bringing his real-life experiences into his music. We’ll have his songs live tonight on our show as part of Wednesday Warriors
