I believe the 343 firefighters on the BETTER ANGELS wall represent 602 children left behind. A staggering number. For New York we added a panel to the exhibit that included the names of 64 FDNY firefighters who have died since 9/11 but whose deaths are officially attributed to health issues from the attack and aftermath.
Here are their names, listed alphabetically. Sadly, this number will continue to grow.
