On Tuesday, the FDNY remembered the 39 members who have died in the past year of illnesses related to their work during the rescue and recovery efforts at what was then known as The Pile.
Their names were added to the FDNY World Trade Center Memorial Wall in an afternoon ceremony at the department's Brooklyn headquarters.
