(Mark Lennihan\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anniversary ceremonies center on remembering the nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked planes rammed into the trade center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville on Sept. 11, 2001. All those victims\u2019 names are read aloud at the ground zero ceremony, where moments of silence and tolling bells mark the moments when the aircraft crashed and the trade center\u2019s twin towers fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there has been growing awareness in recent years of the suffering of another group of people tied to the tragedy: firefighters, police and others who died or fell ill after exposure to the wreckage and the toxins unleashed in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While research continues into whether those illnesses are tied to 9\/11 toxins, a victims compensation fund for people with potentially Sept. 11-related health problems has awarded more than $5.5 billion so far. Over 51,000 people have applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After years of legislative gridlock, dwindling money in the fund and fervent activism by ailing first responders and their advocates, Congress this summer made sure the fund won\u2019t run dry. Trump, a Republican and a New Yorker who was in the city on 9\/11 signed the measure in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sick gained new recognition this year at the memorial plaza at ground zero, where the new 9\/11 Memorial Glade was dedicated this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tribute features six large stacks of granite inlaid with salvaged trade center steel, with a dedication \u201cto those whose actions in our time of need led to their injury, sickness, and death.\u201d No one is named specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some 9\/11 memorials elsewhere already included sickened rescue, recovery and cleanup workers, and there is a remembrance wall entirely focused on them in Nesconset, on Long Island. But those who fell ill or were injured, and their families, say having a tribute at ground zero carries special significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Pentagon announced Monday that its 9\/11 memorial will close next week for electrical and lighting work. The project, expected to take until late May, includes repairs to lighting glitches in the shallow reflecting pools under the memorial benches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sept. 11 is known not only as a day for remembrance and patriotism, but also as a day of service. People around the country continue to volunteer at food banks, schools, home-building projects, park cleanups and other charitable endeavors on and near the anniversary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans are commemorating 9\/11 with mournful ceremonies, volunteering, appeals to \u201cnever forget\u201d and rising attention to
