Today, the members of the North Topsail Beach Fire Department had the honor of hosting our 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the St. Regis Resort. What made today truly special was seeing firefighters, first responders, members of our community, and friends come together to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001.
A very special THANK YOU to our partners and supporters who helped make today’s memorial climb possible:
🚒 Jacksonville Fire Department
🚒 Turkey Creek Fire Department
🏨 St. Regis Resort for graciously hosting us and welcoming everyone onto your property
☕ Coffee Joy for keeping our participants fueled and caffeinated
🍧 Tiki Snow Shaved Ice for helping us cool down after the climb
❤️ And to the many other individuals, businesses, departments, volunteers, and supporters who donated their time, resources, and effort to make today possible.
Every step climbed today represented a life lost. Every flight reminded us of the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness of the 343 firefighters and countless other first responders who answered the call that day.
We remember the victims.
We honor the heroes.
We stand with the families and survivors.
And we will NEVER FORGET.
From all of us at the North Topsail Beach Fire Department, thank you to everyone who showed up, climbed, supported, volunteered, and helped us keep their memory alive.
September 11, 2001.
Always remembered. Never forgotten. 🇺🇸
