The World Trade Center Ribbons/Medals Campaign
To recognize the extraordinary heroism and dedication exhibited by FDNY members of all ranks, immediately thereafter and following the World Trade Center incident of September 11, 2001, the Fire Department has iniated this one-time bestowal of ribbons and medals to honor our member's action.

There are three levels:
1. Survior--for those members who were on-scene and survied as the towers collapsed

2. Rescuer--for those members who operated within 24 hours after the towers collapsed until the last rescue.

3. Campaign--for those members who participated in the rescue/recovery sfforts.
