SEANNA ADCOX Associated Press Writer ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Firefighter Lawrence Stack was off-duty on Sept. 11, 2001, when he rushed to the World Trade Center and was killed in the terrorist attack. Now, his wife Theresa, feels it is her duty to attend every memorial that honors him. On Tuesday, she was among about 1,200 firefighters and relatives at a ceremony near the state Capitol honoring 359 New York state firefighters and fire safety workers who died last year in the line of duty -- all but 12 of them on Sept. 11. ``Wherever my husband's name is, that's where I'll be,'' Theresa Stack said. ``I want to keep his name alive.'' Seven other names also were read from previous years, the earliest dating back to 1866. ``Each firefighter's story is unique. Each had a family who loved him,'' said Gov. George Pataki, whose father was a volunteer firefighter in Westchester County. ``Our obligation to each of these men is to remember what they did, and to remember our debt.''

Stack was a 34-year veteran and a battalion chief in Queens. His two firefighter sons searched the rubble at ground zero for three weeks after the attacks, hoping, unsuccessfully, to recover their father's remains, Theresa Stack said. The annual ceremony increased the total number of names on the state Fallen Firefighters Memorial to 2,241. The memorial was dedicated in 1998.
