September 11, 2001. We remember. 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years later, the events of September 11 remain a day etched into our nation’s history and into the hearts of those who lived through it.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day. We remember the families who were forever changed. We remember the firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, military members, and countless civilians who ran toward danger while others were running away.

We remember the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness displayed in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Today, we honor those we lost, those who served, and those who continue to carry the physical and emotional scars of that day.

On September 1, 2026, the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police & Foundation (VACP) recognized twenty-six Virginia law enforcement officers from nine agencies with the Association's highest honor, the Award for Valor. The Award for Valor recognizes a law enforcement officer who, in the line of duty, performs an act of extraordinary heroism while engaged with an adversary at imminent personal risk.

Three Radford City Police Officers were presented with the Award of Valor for their bravery, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to the preservation of human life.
The Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police honored Radford City Lieutenant E. McManus, Sergeant J. Ellis, and Officer J. Caudell with the 2026 Award of Valor in recognition of their courageous actions.

We would also like to give an honorable mention to Kevin Frady, the NRVCS co-responder assigned to the Radford City Police Department. Kevin was on scene with these officers at the time of the incident and played a tremendous role in the outcome.

We are proud to recognize all four individuals for their dedication, teamwork, and commitment to serving and protecting our community.
