NY police union honors fallen 9/11 officers with video tributes
Fox News
The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York's goal is to work to ensure their stories are accessible across the nation so Americans can remember their ultimate each and every day.
It starts out with a two-minute video, "23 Remembered," which is based on a 9/11 memorial wall -- situated within the association's Manhattan headquarters – that honors the NYPD members who lost their lives on that harrowing day 20 years ago. It also pays a tribute to the hundreds of police officers who died as a result of 9/11-related illnesses stemming from the search-and-recovery operations at Ground Zero.
The wall is canvased with hand-painted portraits of the 22 brave men and one courageous woman who lost their lives and it's all thanks to Philadelphia Police Officer Jonny Castro. Castro made it his mission to paint moving portraits of fallen police officers and military members killed in action.
