Today, the Bay Shore Fire Department joins our community and our nation in solemnly marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Twenty-five years have passed, but we have not forgotten the nearly 3,000 innocent civilians and first responders whose lives were taken that day, including the 343 members of the FDNY, 23 members of the NYPD, and 37 members of the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We also honor the countless first responders, recovery workers, volunteers, and others who have since passed away from 9/11-related illnesses. Their sacrifice continued long after the smoke cleared, and they too must never be forgotten.
We remember the civilians who never made it home, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families who lost loved ones, and everyone whose life was forever changed that September morning.
For those of us in the fire service, September 11th will always remind us of the true meaning of service, courage, brotherhood, sacrifice, and duty.
On behalf of the officers and members of the Bay Shore Fire Department, we honor every life lost on September 11th and in the years that followed.
25 years later, our promise remains the same: WE WILL NEVER FORGET. πΊπΈ
May God bless our fallen heroes, their families, our first responders, and the United States of America.
