Let’s all take a moment out of our day to remember those on 9/11. May we never forget
As we approach the 22nd remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, we solemnly honor the sacrifices made by a diverse group of courageous individuals who responded to the World Trade Centers and Pentagon that fateful day.
Among them were the FDNY firefighters who faced immense danger, enduring injuries and loss of life not only on 9/11 but in the years that followed. Alongside them were the uniformed FDNY EMTs and EMS paramedics who operated at the heart of the disaster.
The volunteer first responders answered the call for help, demonstrating unwavering dedication.
The Port Authority of NY and NJ police officers, NYS Court Officers, Special Agents of the FBI, the New York Fire Patrol.
The diverse groups of other rescuers, including members of the U.S. Armed Forces, who rushed to the aid of those at the WTC and Pentagon; and the passengers/crew of United Airlines Flight 93, who stormed the cockpit in an act of bravery to stop the terrorists.
These brave individuals, often collectively labeled as "first responders," wore different badges of honor, but their efforts and sacrifices were equally heroic.
On this night, we pause to recognize each unique cohort for their selflessness, dedication, and the ultimate sacrifice made in service to others.
In addition to this, we also mourn the loss of the innocent victims who were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the North and South Towers of the World Trade Centers, as well as the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11.
We also remember the lives lost on board American Airlines Flight 77, and all of the innocent victims that were working at the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001.
Let us honor the bravery, sacrifice, and unity of those who responded to the call of duty and the innocent souls lost. We will .
