Your New Jersey (Episode 528)

In this special 25th anniversary episode of Your New Jersey, Lisa Marie Falbo remembers September 11, 2001, and the lasting impact on local families, survivors, and first responders. Richard Alles, Director of 9/11 Community Affairs at Barasch & McGarry, reflects on his time responding at Ground Zero, his battle with 9/11-related cancers, and the importance of the World Trade Center Health Program. And Michael Danatos, a member of the New Jersey 9/11 Family and Survivor Committee, shares the heartbreaking story of his brother-in-law and his decades-long fight to preserve and properly honor the Empty Sky 9/11 Memorial in Jersey City. Together, we remember why the promise to “never forget” still matters 25 years later.
