WE REMEMBER. WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸🇮🇹

Yesterday was a very special and personal day of remembrance for me and for all of us at NASSIG Fire & Emergency Services.

Our day began with a morning workout and Remembrance Run, followed by NAS Sigonella’s 9/11 ceremony, where I had the honor of speaking about that day from my perspective—not only as an American, but as a firefighter.

On September 11, 2001, I was seven days into a one-year tour in Korea. As I watched what was happening back home, I honestly wondered if I would ever see my children again.

And as a firefighter, I watched our brothers and sisters do what firefighters do.

While everyone else was trying to get out, they went in. They went up.

Later that day, Deputy Fire Chief Anthony Dobbins and I had the privilege of accompanying our Skipper, Captain Daniel Martins, to the beautiful Sicilian village of Nissoria.

Nissoria has a very personal connection to September 11th. Two of its own, Salvatore Lopes and Vincenzo Di Fazio, lost their lives at the World Trade Center that day. Their community continues to honor them and all those lost on 9/11 at Parco 11 Settembre.

Standing there with our Sicilian friends and seeing how they continue to honor these two men and the nearly 3,000 souls lost that day was something I won’t forget.

And our Skipper absolutely knocked it out of the park with his words to the people of Nissoria.

And I’m not talking about just any park: I mean Yankee Stadium.

Twenty-five years later, NASSIG Fire & Emergency Services remembers the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and innocent civilians who never made it home.

We remember their courage.
We honor their sacrifice.
And we will never forget. 🇺🇸🇮🇹🚒
