🇺🇸 **25 Years Later — We Will Never Forget** 🇺🇸
Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001—a day that forever changed our nation and a day we must never allow to fade from our memory.
Twenty-five years ago, firefighters, police officers, EMS providers, and countless ordinary Americans demonstrated extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy. While thousands were trying to escape danger, first responders were running toward it—answering the call to help complete strangers.
We remember the **343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and 8 EMS providers** who made the ultimate sacrifice that day. We also honor every life lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93, as well as those who have died in the years since from illnesses related to their service at Ground Zero.
For those of us in the fire service, September 11 is more than a date in history. It is a reminder of the oath we take to serve our communities, the brotherhood and sisterhood of the fire service, and the responsibility we have to carry forward the legacy of those who never made it home.
A generation has now grown up without personally remembering that September morning. It is our responsibility to tell the story, honor those who were lost, and teach future generations why **“Never Forget”** must be more than words.
We remember their courage.
We remember their sacrifice.
We remember their families.
We remember the unity our nation showed in the days that followed.
**25 years later, we still remember. We will always remember.**
🇺🇸 **September 11, 2001 — Never Forget.** 🇺🇸
