Two streets in New York City will now bear the name of an NYPD officer who lost his life during the September 11 attacks while off duty. The renaming honors Officer John Perry, who was killed in the line of duty despite not being on active service at the time. The tribute reflects the broader impact of the attacks on first responders and their families. The change marks a permanent acknowledgment of his sacrifice in the city’s collective memory.
