🇺🇸🕊️ SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🕊️🇺🇸
Today, we pause as a fire service family 🚒, a community, and a nation to remember one of the darkest days in American history. 🇺🇸
Twenty five years ago, on September 11, 2001, our nation was changed forever. Thousands of innocent people went to work that morning, boarded airplanes ✈️, traveled to the city, and began what they believed would be an ordinary day. Instead, our country witnessed an unimaginable tragedy that claimed 2,977 innocent lives and forever changed countless families. 💔🕊️
Among those who made the ultimate sacrifice were 343 members of the Fire Department of the City of New York. 🚒
These firefighters, officers, EMTs, and paramedics answered the call. 📟🚨 They entered the World Trade Center knowing there was tremendous danger ahead. They climbed countless flights of stairs while civilians were desperately trying to escape. They carried equipment, assisted those in need, searched for survivors, and continued moving toward the danger when every instinct told them to move away.
Many never made it home. 💔
🚒 343 firefighters.
🚔 23 NYPD officers.
🚑 37 Port Authority police officers.
🕊️ Thousands of innocent civilians.
We remember every single one.
We remember the firefighters who gave everything they had to save someone they had never met. ❤️🔥 We remember the police officers who stood their ground. 🚔 We remember the EMTs and paramedics who treated the injured. 🚑 We remember the civilians who lost their lives, the passengers aboard the four aircraft ✈️, and the families who were left behind to carry a pain that can never truly be put into words. 💔
We also remember the days, weeks, and months that followed. 🇺🇸
Fire stations across this country raised flags. 🚒🇺🇸 Departments stood together. 👨🚒👩🚒 Communities came together. 🤝 People brought food, supplies, prayers, and support. 🙏 Firefighters from across the nation traveled to New York to help search through the rubble and assist their brothers and sisters in the fire service. 🚒
For a brief moment, our differences didn't matter.
We were ONE NATION. 🇺🇸
ONE COMMUNITY. 🤝
ONE FIRE SERVICE. 🚒
ONE FAMILY. ❤️
September 11th reminds us of the risks that first responders accept every time they answer the call. 📟🚨 Behind every uniform is a person a mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, friend, and loved one. ❤️
Every time a firefighter puts on their gear 🧑🚒, every time a siren sounds 🚨, and every time a crew pulls out of the station to answer a call 🚒, we are reminded of the responsibility that comes with wearing the uniform.
We don't know what the call will bring.
But we answer anyway.
Because that's what we do. 🚒❤️
Today, we lower our heads in remembrance. 🫡
We raise our hearts in gratitude. ❤️
We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🕊️
And we continue to serve those who need us. 🚨🤝
