National Fallen Firefighters Foundation/FDNY Memorial: Honoring Post-9/11 Heroes

This solemn ceremony will honor the FDNY firefighters who have died from 9/11-related illnesses and whose names are being added to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland. In recognition of their extraordinary service, this will be a one-time special event held in the city they so bravely served. To ensure greater access and support, we are privileged to host the ceremony at the College of Staten Island, where we are able to fully accommodate our Fire Hero Families.

Remembering America's Fallen Fire Heroes

Each year the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation publishes a remembrance book that highlights the firefighters who are being recognized each year in Emmitsburg at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. These books give you a glimpse into the lives of these brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice and who will be forever enshrined at the memorial. Please take a look at not only this remembrance book, but those of the past.

Ways to Honor Fallen Firefighters in Your Community

We are honored to continue our tradition of remembrance with this special tribute to the FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice due to post-9/11-related illnesses. On October 18, 2025, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the FDNY will come together on Staten Island to formally honor these brave firefighters whose service extended long after September 11. Even though you cannot be with us in person, you can still take part. Watch the service online, light your community in red, and help us share their stories. Together, we ensure these heroes—and the families who carry their legacy—are never forgotten.
