9/11/2001. On that day 25 years ago 72 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty. NYPD lost 23 officers, the Port Authority Police Department lost 37. Members of the U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and New York State Court officers also lost their lives that day.

We honor their sacrifice, courage, valor, and dedication. We honor them in how we live.

Never forget. 🇺🇸
