The National September 11 Memorial & Museum held its annual commemoration ceremony to observe the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack.
The campaign targets the roughly 100 million Americans who were not alive on Sept. 11, 2001 -- those who never witnessed the terrorism and heroism, and never experienced the service and sacrifice of that day.
The money would fund a report about 9/11-related toxins by the Department of Investigation.
James Riches spent six months at ground zero digging through the rubble to find the body of his son, Jimmy, who was also a firefighter.
Steel recovered from the World Trade Center is part of the ship named after the 9/11 hero who served in the Marines, the Coast Guard and the NYPD.
Firefighter Kenneth J. Fusco will not only be remembered for his bravery on 9/11, but for his lifetime of service, mentorship and brotherhood.
