The memory of September 11, 2001 must never fade. We owe it to future generations to preserve the truth of that day - unfiltered and uncensored. They need to know about the brave protectors who, without hesitation, ran towards danger. These heroes - firefighters, police officers, and ordinary citizens - embodied the very best of humanity; true protectors.

But our duty to remember goes beyond that fateful day. Even now, over two decades later, many first responders continue to fight a silent, insidious battle against cancers and other illnesses stemming from their service. Their sacrifice didn't end when the dust settled; for many, it was just beginning.

About Niels: Niels Jorgensen, a retired FDNY Lieutenant from Ladder Company 80, was inspired by his firefighter father to join the department. On 9/11, though off-duty, he responded to the World Trade Center attacks, assisting in rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero for four days.

Years later, Jorgensen developed health issues, eventually being diagnosed with a rare leukemia likely caused by exposure to toxic air at Ground Zero.
