September 11: The Longest Day

It wasn't just one day in 2001 that resulted in such unimaginable death and destruction. As you can see,  the impact to people's lives has continues. We will never forgive the Islamic terrorists, and we will never forget the sacrifice of the victims.

"The FDNY continues to feel the impact of that day," the fire commissioner said.

"As the nation prepares to mark the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the New York City Fire Department has added 43 new names to its World Trade Center Memorial Wall commemorating firefighters, paramedics and civilian support staff members who have died from illnesses related to the rescue and recovery efforts in the aftermath of one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

"The additions to the memorial wall bring the total number of FDNY members who have succumbed to post-9/11 illnesses to 331, which is nearly equal to the number of firefighters killed in the Twin Towers on the day of the attacks.

"The new names were unveiled at a ceremony on Wednesday and represent the second largest group to be added to the memorial wall since it was created 12 years ago with 55 names."
