On September 11‚ 2001‚ Glenn‚ a partner at the law firm Holland & Knight LLP‚ raced from his nearby evacuated office to participate in the rescue effort at the World Trade Center. He died when the South Tower collapsed‚ medic bag by his side and protective gloves on his hands.

Throughout his career as a public safety officer‚ Glenn received numerous citations for his bravery‚ including for battling the Suffolk County Wildfires in 1995 and for emergency work at the scene of the Avianca plane crash in 1990‚ both on Long Island.

In October 2006‚ Glenn was inducted as a member of the FDNY Honor Legion for his valor on September 11‚ perhaps the first non-FDNY member to receive that elite recognition. The Firefighters Memorial Wall‚ a 56-foot-long bronze sculpture located at Engine 10 Ladder 10 across from Ground Zero in NYC‚ was dedicated in Glenn’s honor in June 2006.

JOSEPH LOVERO, 60, of Jersey City, N.J., was chasing firetrucks before he could add. Growing up, he lived near a fire station that became his second home. When he was old enough, Lovero took the fire test, but was ineligible because of a heart condition. Instead of fighting fires, he helped out as a volunteer and later a fire dispatcher. On Sept. 11 Lovero completed his shift as a civilian fire dispatcher in Jersey City and rushed to the World Trade Center. His family and friends are not sure why Lovero went to the scene, but say that he may have been asked to set up a communication center. “If something was going on, he would always be there to help,” said his daughter Maxine McCormack.

Joe was assisting a FDNY Battalion Chief when the 2nd tower came down. They ran for cover, the Battalion Chief survived, Joe was seriously injured, and the Battalion Chief found him in the rubble when the smoke cleared and had him transported to St. Vincent's hospital where he died. His body lay in the morgue with Chief Ganci and Father Judge for several days.
