🇺🇸 We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Today, the Scott Emergency Communications Center joins our community and our nation in remembering the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We honor the innocent lives taken too soon, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the countless first responders, public safety professionals, and everyday citizens who answered the call with extraordinary courage and selflessness.

We also remember the dispatchers and communications professionals who worked behind the scenes—answering calls, coordinating resources, and serving as a lifeline during unimaginable circumstances.

Twenty-five years later, the courage, sacrifice, service, and unity demonstrated that day remain an enduring part of our nation.

To all who lost their lives, all who responded, and all who continue to carry the impact of September 11:

We remember you. We honor you. We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 – September 11, 2026
