Remembering 9-11 Fallen and Rescue Workers

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame would like to pay tribute to all those who died in the World Trade Center or as rescue workers and firefighters on September 11, 2001. We extend a special remembrance to our three Hall of Fame Medal of Courage recipients for their heroic efforts during the 9-11 attacks on the United States. Because of them countless lives were saved and these brave patriots proved that the greatest courage is giving your life to save others.

Chief Raymond Downey

Being a hero was nothing new to New York Fire Department Chief Raymond Downey. The well-respected leader had risen through the ranks to earn the title of Chief of Special Operations and led task forces that responded to the Oklahoma City bombing, Hurricane Marilyn and the Atlanta Olympics. In addition, he was a team leader in response to Hurricanes Hugo, Andres, Fran, and Opal. Downey was a panel member of the Gilmore Commission, and a Presidential Committee on Terrorism, which had been assessing domestic response capabilities for terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction.  Rest of the story at
