This past Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks - a day to remember those we lost and honor the first responders who continue to answer the call to serve.

During the City of Beaufort’s annual Patriot Day ceremony, the Exchange Club of Beaufort recognized local first responders for their service and dedication to our community.

We are proud to congratulate Shift Supervisor/Paramedic Shaun Gleason, who was honored as First Responder of the Year, recognizing more than 20 years of dedicated service. Shaun leads by example, always willing to step in, support his crew, and work alongside them whenever needed. His dedication to his patients, his team, and the community he has served for more than two decades exemplifies the commitment and professionalism this recognition represents.

Thank you to the Exchange Club of Beaufort and the City of Beaufort for recognizing Shaun and our fellow local first responders for their continued service to our community. 📸 credit - SK Signs, Designs & Marketing, and City Beaufort SC

Our families and friends watch us head to shift each day, serving our community and its visitors during some of their greatest times of need. Sometimes, that example inspires someone close to us to answer the call, too.

A little over a year ago, the daughter of a Bluffton Township Fire District member decided EMS was the path she wanted to pursue. After completing her Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training through the Beaufort-Jasper Academy for Career Excellence, she joined our Beaufort County EMS family.

This week brought a pretty special full-circle moment when she had the opportunity to work alongside her father - on the same shift, at the same station, serving the Bluffton community together.

Thank you Lt. Walt Arlt and EMT Olivia Arlt, as well as Bluffton Township Fire District, for capturing and sharing these wonderful photos. Moments like these remind us that a commitment to service can inspire the next generation. 📸 credit - Lt. Walt Arlt.

Today, we pause to remember.

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, our nation experienced a day that forever changed us.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost. We honor the first responders who ran toward danger, many making the ultimate sacrifice. We remember the families, friends, coworkers, and communities whose lives were forever changed.

And we honor those who continued to serve in the days, months, and years that followed - many carrying the effects of that service with them long after the smoke cleared.

Twenty-five years ago, the world stood still as we lost thousands of innocent civilians and brave first responders.

Remembering takes many forms. These annual memorials stand as meaningful traditions - opportunities to gather, reflect, honor those we lost, and ensure the events and sacrifices of September 11 are never forgotten.

Check out these seven new students who have officially started their journey toward earning their EMT certification!

Their training began on August 7 and will wrap up on December 18. Once again, it’s exciting to watch a new group take that first step toward a career in EMS.

And here’s something worth celebrating - 30 graduates from previous classes are now working on ambulances across the country, including several with Beaufort County EMS!

Best of luck to Class #12 as they learn, train, and work toward joining the EMS family! 📸 credit - NRP/SC EMS Educator Jennifer Calcorzi.
