Today the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) held dedication ceremonies for the inaugural World Trade Center Retired Responders Wall. These members were retired at the time of the September 11 attacks and responded to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site. The Retired Responders Wall is positioned directly across from the WTC Memorial Wall, which honors active members lost to World Trade Center-related illnesses. Together, the walls honor the growing number of FDNY members who have died from illnesses related to their response to the attacks. So far, a total of 154 names has been added to the new wall
