🇺🇸 Honoring the Fallen — Proud of Our Students 🇺🇸

Cannon County EMS would like to recognize the Cannon County High School FFA students who completed the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb this morning beginning at 0600.

We are incredibly proud of these students for their hard work, dedication, and willingness to honor and remember the firefighters, first responders, and innocent civilian lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Their determination with every step serves as a powerful reminder that, even 25 years later, we have not forgotten—and we never will.

Thank you to these young men and women for taking the time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

🇺🇸 Never Forget. 9/11/2001 🇺🇸

Thank you to every volunteer, career responder, family member, and supporter who makes this mission possible. Your commitment, sacrifice, and service do not go unnoticed.
