September 11, 2001 — 25 Years Later
Twenty-five years have passed, but September 11, 2001, remains a day that none of us will ever forget.

That morning, our nation was attacked, and the world watched in disbelief as the events of that day unfolded. Thousands of innocent people never returned home. Among them were 343 members of the New York City Fire Department, 23 New York City police officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while running toward danger to save others.

We remember the victims, the first responders, and the countless families whose lives were forever changed that day.

We also remember the extraordinary courage displayed by ordinary people—first responders who answered the call, civilians who helped strangers, and Americans who came together in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, the passage of time has not diminished the significance of September 11. We continue to honor those who were lost by remembering their names, their lives, their courage, and the sacrifices made by so many.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

The officers and staff of the Pickerington Police Department extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and members of the Rittman Police Department following the tragic line-of-duty death of Sgt. Scott Ries on Sunday evening.

Sgt. Ries was fatally wounded while responding alongside other law enforcement officers to a 9-1-1 call reporting a burglary in progress and gunfire at a residence. As officers arrived, they were met with immediate gunfire. Sgt. Ries was killed, and four deputies from the Medina County Sheriff's Office, along with a K-9 unit, were injured during the incident.

This heartbreaking tragedy is a solemn reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers face every day as they answer the call to protect their communities. We also keep the injured deputies, their families, and everyone impacted by this unimaginable event in our thoughts and prayers.

May Sgt. Ries' courage, dedication, and selfless service never be forgotten.

Rest easy, Brother. We have the watch from here.
