On this day 13 years ago, events occurred that changed the world. Today we remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. There are many ways we as Americans can "remember" including taking time to attend a memorial service, saying a prayer, volunteering, or donating just to name a few.

As firemen, we will never forget the "343" and all of the emergency responders that gave their lives to help others that day. We shall pray for the families who had loved ones that did not return home.

We would also like to thank our military men and women for their dedication to the United States, the land of the free and home of the brave!
