Fairfax County reads names of public‑safety personnel who died from 9/11‑related illnesses

Fairfax County departments read the names of public‑safety members who later died from illnesses related to their service following the Sept. 11 attacks. The ceremony included a moment of silence and invited the public to remember both those who died on 9/11 and those who later suffered fatal illnesses connected to rescue and recovery work.

Representatives from the Fairfax County Police Department and Fire and Rescue Department read individual names; Moderator S1 asked attendees to join in a period of silence after the readings. The program closed with an invitation to visit the Public Safety museum to view artifacts from Sept. 11.
