Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage and sacrifice shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We remember the 343 FDNY firefighters, along with the law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and civilians who lost their lives that day. We also remember the first responders who answered the call and continued to suffer from illnesses related to their service at Ground Zero.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and service remain an enduring example for the fire service and for our nation.

Tippecanoe Township Volunteer Fire Department will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Never Forget.
