Rescue and Recovery Workers
On May 30, 2002, the Last Column, draped in the American flag, was removed from Ground Zero in an honor-guard procession to mark the end of the nine-month rescue, recovery, and relief efforts at the World Trade Center site.
Each year, we commemorate the May 30 anniversary through a series of programs and events. If you participated in the rescue, recovery, and relief operation, we encourage you to share your story and view some of our resources below.
Rescue & Recovery Workers Registry
The Rescue & Recovery Workers Registry documents participants in the rescue, recovery, investigation, cleanup, and relief efforts after 9/11 in New York City; Arlington, Virginia; and Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
Registered individuals are eligible for free admission to the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
This is separate from the rescue and recovery workers mailing list and is only used for purposes of documentation and sharing your experience.
