Fred Claridge: Remembering all the heroes of 9-11

Re “Local first responders honor the heroes of 9/11” (Page 3A, Sept. 12): I appreciated the coverage of the local 9-11 remembrance ceremonies. Often forgotten in these observances are the eight EMTs and paramedics who worked for private or hospital-based ambulance services who died that day as well. They’re heroes too.
