September 11, 2001 — 25 years later, we remember. 🇺🇸
Twenty-five years have passed since our nation witnessed an unimaginable tragedy. But we will never forget the 343 firefighters, 60 law enforcement officers, and countless others who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.
On Saturday, the City of Rio Grande City Fire held its first-ever Memorial Stair Climb. As our members climbed, we carried with us the names, stories, courage, and sacrifice of those who climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center 25 years ago, many never to return home.
Every step was a reminder that we have a responsibility to remember, to honor, and to never forget.
Today, we pause to honor the 343 members of the FDNY and all the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away. We remember their families, their brothers and sisters in service, and the thousands whose lives were forever changed that day.
From Rio Grande City to New York City, the bond of the fire service knows no distance.
25 years later, we remember their courage.
25 years later, we honor their sacrifice.
25 years later, we will never forget.
🇺🇸 Never Forget. 9/11/01 — 9/11/26 🇺🇸
