Twenty-five years have passed, but September 11th, 2001, remains a day etched forever into the heart of our nation.
We remember the innocent men, women, and children whose lives were taken. We remember the families who received the call that changed their lives forever. We remember the firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel, military members, and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger while others were running away.
On that day, courage was not measured by the absence of fear, but by the willingness to stand in the face of it.
Thousands never made it home that day. Many more carried the physical and emotional scars of September 11th for the rest of their lives. Their sacrifice must never become just a chapter in a history book.
As law enforcement officers, we understand the weight of the oath to protect and serve. On September 11th, we witnessed that oath carried out with extraordinary courage and sacrifice.
Today, the Howell County Sheriffโs Office pauses to remember those we lost, honor those who served, and stand with the families who continue to carry their loss.
May we never forget the lives lost.
May we never forget the heroes who answered the call.
May we never forget the unity of a nation that stood together.
25 years later, we remember.
25 years later, we honor.
25 years later, we still stand together. ๐บ๐ธ
