September 11, 2001 — 25 Years Later

Tomorrow marks 25 years since a beautiful September morning became one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were taken in the terrorist attacks on our country. Families lost husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and coworkers. Our nation was forever changed.

We also remember the extraordinary courage displayed that day. While thousands were desperately trying to escape the World Trade Center, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and other first responders were running toward the danger. Many would not return home.

Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to others represent the very best of public service.

Twenty-five years have now passed. An entire generation has grown up knowing September 11 only through photographs, videos, history lessons, and the stories of those who lived through it. That makes our responsibility to remember even more important.

We remember those who went to work that morning and never came home.

We remember the first responders who answered the call without hesitation.

We remember the members of our military who served and sacrificed in the years that followed.

We remember the families who have carried an unimaginable loss for the past quarter century.

And we remember how, in the days that followed, Americans stood together.

Today, and always, the men and women of the Peterborough Police Department honor the lives lost, the heroes who gave everything, and all those whose lives were forever changed by September 11, 2001.

25 years later, we have not forgotten. We will never forget.

Yesterday, Lieutenant Xenakis and Master Patrolman Kolb were honored to attend the graveside service with military honors at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Winchendon, Massachusetts for Gregory "Rusty" Wilson Theroux.

Greg began his career in the 1980s working in sales at his family's furniture store. He later dedicated more than 20 years to public service as a corrections officer with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, rising to the rank of Lieutenant before retiring in 2011. Continuing his commitment to serving others, he joined the Peterborough Police Department, where he served as a police officer from 2013 to 2015.

Greg will be remembered for his dedication to family, his years of public service, his love of country, and the lasting impact he made on those who knew him.

Attending the 49th New Hampshire Police Academy, he began his career serving first as an officer with the City of Keene Police Department. Earl would continue to serve as Chief of Police for the towns of Chesterfield, Dublin, Marlborough, Roxbury, and Lyndeborough. Earl was also a retired Sergeant with the Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office. Most recently, Earl was a Lieutenant with the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council and was Commandant of the Part-Time Police Academy.
