On Long Island, a Nassau County park has been renamed in honor of former NYPD detective and 9/11 first responder, Luis Alvarez.
Alvarez, a Long Island native, gained national attention as he fought alongside comedian Jon Stewart to extend the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.
Nassau County Executive Laura Curran had introduced the bill to rename the park in Alvarez’s honor shortly after he died in 2019 from cancer caused by toxins at Ground Zero.
“It means so much that we re able to dedicate this park, this little patch of green less than a mile from his home, to a fallen American hero whose altruism ranged from his bravery on the job during 9/11, and of course, to his dying day,” Curran said.
