On Saturday, I visited the Zadroga 9/11 Memorial in my hometown North Arlington, NJ. This memorial is dedicated to former NYPD & 9/11 First Responder James Zadroga; who developed a pulmonary condition attributing do his death at the young age of 34. Zadroga was the name sake the federal bill that would be known as the Zadroga Health and Compensation Act, which provided financial aid and health monitoring for many 9/11 first responders, many of whom developed similar health conditions. This memorial has a great view of the NYC skyline, where the Twin Towers used to once stand.
