Coalition wants monument for 9/11 1st responders

NEW YORK | As the opening of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum nears, a push is on for a monument honoring rescue workers who may have been sickened by toxins at the World Trade Center.

A coalition of New York officials, labor leaders and survivor advocates announced the effort Friday, saying it would help tell the full story of sacrifice and loss stemming from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
