VCF Awards and Medical Care for Out-of-State Responders

On September 11, 2001, right after the World Trade Center towers were hit and collapsed, thousands of local NYC men and women first responders rushed to the scene to help. Within just hours, many individuals and groups of out-of-state responders and volunteers quickly made their way to the disaster site to selflessly respond to what was not just an attack on NYC, but an attack on our country. Faced with the most dangerous and deadliest attack on our nation, first responders and volunteers from our surrounding states (and from many states across the country) all rushed to aid New York City. Even as the days and months passed, many out-of-state responders and volunteers stayed or continued to come to help in the cleanup and recovery at Ground Zero.

On September 11, 2001, as the Twin Towers collapsed, thousands of men and women first responders rushed to the pile to help. Many of those first responders were groups of out-of-state responders and volunteers who quickly made their way to the disaster site when most would have rushed away. In the face of danger, first responders, construction workers, and volunteers from our surrounding states (and from many states across the country), counties, and towns rushed to aid New York City and its residents, workers, and students. Even as the days and months passed, many out-of-state responders stayed or continued to come to help in the cleanup and recovery at Ground Zero.
