A series of caches commemorating the 343 firefighters that passed on September 11th, 2001. This is going to be a series where one cache is dedicated to every firefighter that fell that day. With each cache, a biography of the firefighter who gave his last act of valor will be placed in the summary. Please take the time to look through some of these biographies.

Age: 36​​ 

David G. Arce, 36, who grew up in Westbury, was a firefighter with Engine Company 33 in NoHo. He and his best friend, Michael Boyle, also a firefighter, walked down from the 40th floor of the north tower when the building collapsed. His remains were found in the southwest corner of the lobby.

When Margaret Arce of Williston Park went to her son's apartment in Manhattan's Stuyvesant Town to pack up his belongings after Sept. 11, she discovered that he had been a secret Santa, buying gifts for those less fortunate.
