🇺🇸 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 - 25 YEARS LATER, WE WILL NEVER FORGET
Today, the Chicopee Department of Veterans’ Services joins our community and our nation in solemn remembrance of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
Twenty-five years have passed, but the memory of that day — and the courage, sacrifice, compassion, and unity that followed — remains with us.
We remember the innocent lives taken at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. We honor the firefighters, police officers, emergency personnel, military members, and ordinary citizens who answered an unimaginable moment with extraordinary courage.
We also remember the first responders, rescue and recovery workers, survivors, and others who have suffered or lost their lives from illnesses connected to the aftermath of September 11.
For our Veterans community, September 11 carries another lasting significance. A generation of Americans answered the call to serve in the years that followed, beginning more than two decades of military service and sacrifice by our nation’s men and women in uniform.
Today, we honor all who were lost, all who responded, all who served, and all whose lives were forever changed.
May we continue to share the stories of September 11 with generations who were not yet born or are too young to remember, ensuring that its lessons of courage, service, resilience, and unity are never forgotten.
🇺🇸 25 Years Later — We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.
