THE FDNY 9/11 MEMORIAL WALL
Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation, Inc., established the New York City Firefighter Memorial Wall Fund on behalf of Glenn J. Winuk, a Holland & Knight partner. In addition to being an attorney, Winuk was also a volunteer firefighter on Long Island, New York. On that Tuesday morning, Winuk rushed from his nearby law office to the Twin Towers to try to help others. Winuk lost his life in that effort.
Presented to the FDNY, the 56-foot-long by 6-foot- tall bas-relief bronze sculpture was a gift from the law firm of Holland & Knight. The Wall serves as a lasting tribute to the sacrifices of the 343 fire department personnel who perished in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, depicting the technical and organizational challenges first responders faced that fateful day.
