We're remembering the sacrifices made and the lives lost. Hug your loved ones, say the sorry, for tomorrow may not come.

September 11th isn’t just a date on the calendar.

If you were old enough to remember that morning, you probably remember where you were.

I remember the feeling of watching the coverage and realizing that the people going toward those buildings had no idea what the next few hours were going to look like.

For those of us who have worked EMS, that part is familiar.

Not the scale of it. Nothing compares to that.

But the moment when you hear a call come across, grab your gear, and start moving before you have all the information.

You don’t have time to sit around and figure out how you feel about it.

You have a job to do.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of responders did exactly that.

Firefighters climbed stairs.

EMS crews moved toward the chaos.

Police officers ran toward danger.

Dispatchers kept answering calls.

And ordinary people did extraordinary things for strangers.

What stays with me isn’t just the enormity of what happened.

It’s the individual people inside that story.

The responder who kissed their family goodbye that morning and never came home.

The dispatcher who kept answering the phone.

The medic who kept treating patients.

The family waiting for someone who wasn’t coming back.

Twenty-five years later, we can sometimes forget how much of history is made up of individual people having the worst day of their lives.

That’s why I don’t think remembering September 11 should only be about the buildings or the numbers.

Remember the people.

Remember the ones who ran toward the emergency.

Remember the families who lost someone.

Remember the responders who carried what they experienced long after that day was over.

And remember what it means to put on a uniform and answer a call when you don’t know what you’re walking into.

We do that work every day.

September 11 reminds us that sometimes the call is bigger than anything you could have imagined.

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.

Two years ago we had Mark's Handiwork build us this table and last week we asked if he could make benches to match it. Yesterday he delivered these 7 foot benches. He does outstanding work and we're so glad to have these beautiful pieces in our day room!
