A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who came out last night to assist with the search.

At one point, more than 100 community members were there, along with multiple fire, police and EMS agencies. The overwhelming support from our community was truly incredible.

And when the announcement came that he had been found, the applause and cheers were something we won’t soon forget.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, searched, supported, and helped bring our community together. ❤️

September 11, 2001 — Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the brave men and women who lost their lives on 9/11. We remember the firefighters, police officers, EMS providers, military members, and the countless innocent people who never made it home.

Most of all, we honor the 343 members of the FDNY who made the ultimate sacrifice that day. They answered the call, climbed the stairs, and ran toward unimaginable danger knowing others needed them. They left behind families, brothers and sisters in the fire service, and a legacy of courage that will never fade.

For those of us who wear the badge and answer the call, their memory carries a little extra weight.

Every time the tones drop, every time we climb into a truck, and every time we respond to someone in need, we carry their memory with us. We strive to honor the 343 by serving with the same courage, dedication, and selflessness that they showed on that terrible day.

We may never be able to repay the debt owed to those who gave everything, but we can honor them by continuing to serve, continuing to answer the call, and continuing to put others before ourselves.

343 lives. 343 heroes. 343 brothers and sisters who will never be forgotten.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Their bravery will never be forgotten.
Their legacy lives on in every one of us who answers the call.

🇺🇸 Never Forget. 9/11/01
343 FDNY Heroes — Forever in Our Hearts. 🚒🕯️
