As we all prepare for the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, everyone deals with it differently. Especially within the FDNY (343+ killed), FPNY (Keith Roma: http://www.heroes-nogreaterlove.com/roma.htm ) NYPD (23+ killed) and PAPD (37+ killed) as well as the families and friends: some NEVER FORGET, most cannot FORGET. Some WANT to forget….and really, if you can think of an emotion, it probably relates to someone and their feelings. And then there are those FDNY members who few people even know about.

A Memorial Wall listing the names of 55 additional FDNY members who have died in the last 10 years due to World Trade Center-related illnesses, was unveiled at FDNY Headquarters yesterday. Several more will be added this week who have died since the plaque was constructed. These members on the Wall died of illnesses related to their work at the World Trade Center during and after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Very sadly, the reality is that many more names will be added over the following years. 

 

We felt that this year, this issue of The Secret List should be dedicated in the memory of all who died, but with a special focus on the MOST RECENT FDNY Line of Duty Deaths that few people are aware of. May they rest in peace, the 343+.
