Today, we remember all of those who lost their lives on this day 14 years ago. 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 also remember the FDNY 343 and the many other emergency responders who did not return home. Unfortunately, the number of fallen responders is growing due to illness as a result of working at the sites.

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!
