Advocates For A 9-11 Fallen Heroes Memorial

Advocates for A 9-11 Fallen Heroes Memorial have been making news as we seek to reverse the decision of the LMDC and honor the fallen rescue workers by listing them together, by department, on the WTC memorial. Read about our Petition Campaign directed at NYS Governor Pataki.  Our focus remains: the memorial should record and acknowledge their courage, sacrifice, and brave actions.  Review the articles and materials relative to Advocates for a 9-11 Fallen Heroes Memorial by clicking the links below.
