Trump hails 9/11 firefighters as ‘immortal heroes’
US President Donald Trump honored firefighters and first responders who died on 9/11 at a White House event on Tuesday, three days ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed around 3 000 people.
Trump made the remarks at an event for the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports first responders and veterans which was set up in tribute to firefighter Stephen Siller, who died on 9/11.
The government-funded World Trade Center Health Program provides health care for 9/11-related illnesses to more than 150 000 responders involved in rescue and recovery efforts and survivors who lived, worked or studied in the disaster area, according to data collected through June 30 by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
