Regis Philbin's son Daniel was reportedly born with a spinal cord defect and had both of his legs amputated. He died at 49 years old due to natural causes, but he had a great career in the Secretary of Defense Public Affairs Office's Directorate of Public Inquiry and Analysis as a writer and editor, per The Inquistr.

According to a 2002 article from the Department of Defense, "Philbin was sitting at his desk in the Pentagon when the terrorist-flown airliner slammed into the building on Sept. 11, 2001. His first reaction was, 'Get the hell out of the building!' Once outside, he decided to see what he could do to help his office deal with the media." The article continued to explain, "That evening, while the building was still in flames, he returned to the Pentagon to help with the secretary of defense's press conference. He came back on Sept. 12 to perform additional duties. This bravery and dedication were not without cost, as he was hospitalized later for several days."

In 2002, Daniel was one of 16 people with disabilities honored for their outstanding contributions to the Defense Department. He said at the time, "The awards ceremony is a form of recognition by one's peers, which is probably the highest form of recognition. It means a great deal to me to be nominated and selected."
