Today, members of Monroeville Volunteer Fire Company #1 joined our community at the Mission BBQ 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony to honor the lives lost 25 years ago today.
We remember the 2,977 lives lost, including the 343 FDNY firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and civilians who made the ultimate sacrifice or never returned home to their families.
For those of us in the fire and emergency services, September 11 carries a special significance. We remember the firefighters and first responders who climbed the stairs while thousands were coming down—answering the call without hesitation and demonstrating courage, service, and sacrifice in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their legacy.
Thank you to Mission BBQ for bringing our community together today and ensuring that the promise made in the days following September 11 continues to be upheld:
