Today, the Salisbury NC Fire Department held its annual 9/11 Memorial Service, marking 25 years since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Our community gathered to remember the 2,977 lives lost that day and honor the first responders who answered the call, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving others. We also remember the responders who have faced lasting physical and emotional effects in the years since.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their courage, sacrifice and service. May we never forget the first responders, victims and survivors of Sept. 11, 2001, and may we continue to carry their legacy forward.
