In addition, Mayor Giuliani and Ambassador Cain thanked firemen from the band "Firefighters" who recorded a CD that sold more than 2,500 copies and raised an additional $10,000 (more than 50,000 kroner)
for the "Bravest Memorial," an initiative to build a monument dedicated to the more the 343 FDNY firefighters who died trying to save victims of the World Trade Center attacks.
Danish firefighters continue to go to the U.S. each year to mark the anniversary of September 11.
Mayor Giuliani described the spontaneous citizen initiative on the part of Danish firemen and band members as one of the most inspiring elements of the response to the tragedy of September 11.
