For the first time, an additional moment of silence will honor those who survived September 11 but later died from illnesses and injuries connected to the toxic conditions they encountered during the rescue, recovery and aftermath.
It is a powerful reminder that the human cost of September 11 did not end that day.
Hundreds of thousands participated in rescue, recovery and relief efforts. They were firefighters and police officers. Paramedics and EMTs. Nurses and doctors. Construction and sanitation workers. Military personnel. Dispatchers. Volunteers.
Some searched for survivors.
Some cared for the injured.
Some moved debris, bucket by bucket.
Some simply showed up and asked, โ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ง ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ?โ
Twenty-five years later, we remember those who ran in. Those who stayed. Those who came in the days and months afterward.
And with a ๐ฌ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ก ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐, we remember those whose sacrifice took years to fully understand.
