Final
preparations are being made this week on a permanent change to Westchester's
9/11 memorial at the Kensico Dam Plaza.
For the
first time, there is going to be a physical reminder of the unseen toll
of the attacks.
A new
display honors the hero first responders who died
years after exposure to toxins at the World Trade Center site.
Up until
now, 'The Rising' in Valhalla has only listed the names of the 123 county
residents who died when the tower fell.
Now, 41
more names will be added next Saturday at a ceremony to mark the 20th
anniversary of the attacks.
An
estimated 4,000 responders have died in the years after 9/11.
News 12's
Tara Rosenblum will have a special report on their health struggles this
Thursday night.
