More than 20 names added to FDNY World Trade Center Memorial Wall
Friends and families of 9/11 victims gathered alongside members of the FDNY on Wednesday, September 8 as Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro added 21 new names of members who died of 9/11-related illnesses to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall at FDNY Headquarters.
First unveiled in September of 2011, there are now 110 names of fallen FDNY members listed on the wall which is located at the agency’s MetroTech headquarters.
“As of this moment, more than 10,000 members of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program are battling illnesses which are a direct result of their brave and noble work in the rescue and recovery effort at the World Trade Center,” said Nigro just two days before the 14th anniversary of 9/11. “And now, each year, we gather for this difficult and painful tradition, but one that is undeniably necessary, where the FDNY family remembers the men and women who have lost their lives since September 11.”
Those added to the memorial wall in 2015 were: Firefighter Joseph T. Callahan; Battalion Chief Richard E. McGuire; EMS Lieutenant Douglas Mulholland; EMT Luis de Peña; EMS Lieutenant Michael F.
