Boosters of a permanent memorial to honor 17 city firefighters who were also Marines and died in the World Trade Center rescue attempts have raised two thirds of the money needed to build the monument at the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot in South Carolina.

“We need between $25,000 and $30,000 more,” said Frank Ancona, a retired Firefighter and former U.S. Marine. “We have about $65,000 and need about $90,000.”
