On Sept. 11 of last year — exactly 23 years after working at Ground Zero — retired NYPD Emergency Service worker William Giammarino took his first unassisted breath with new lungs.

The Holbrook man, who served at the World Trade Center site for months after 9/11, battled worsening COPD for years and was turned away from other hospitals. One year ago, he finally received a life-saving double lung transplant at North Shore University Hospital.

Giammarino can finally breathe again — and hopes his story inspires other 9/11 responders to seek care.
