Mychal Judge, a Fire Department chaplain killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, was driven to the New York area on Sunday to join the collection of the Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum, museum officials said.

It's just a tremendous thing to do as we advocate together with Sioux City Fire to actually encourage people to say ‘yes' and to donate life," Jorgensen says.
