Today, we reflect on one of the darkest days in U.S. history. Over 2,900 people lost their lives on September 11th, 2001, including 343 firefighters and 71 police officers. It was now 25 years ago, but still seems like yesterday to many of us. Lives lost, heroes remembered.

“There are two kinds of people in the world – first those who run away from danger, then there are those who run towards danger, to see if someone needs help.”
