I remember this day. It was an ongoing horror, and it appears the nightmare continues for a great many of the first responders and others.

But for many -- including thousands of people who lost loved ones, witnessed the events, or participated in the recovery efforts – the pain lingers. Increasingly, federal and state officials are acknowledging a significant disease burden in these survivors which will last their lifetime. Physical and mental ailments are now beginning to be reported in careful follow-up studies.
