Remembering September 11: 25 Years Later

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation experienced one of the darkest days in its history.
On September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives, including 23 members of the New York City Police Department, 37 members of the Port Authority Police Department, and 343 members of the New York City Fire Department. They answered the call to serve, just as they had done every day, and made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting others.

For those of us who serve in corrections and law enforcement, their courage and sacrifice carry a special meaning.

NYSCOPBA members understand what it means to walk into difficult and dangerous situations while others are walking away. We understand the responsibility that comes with wearing a uniform and the commitment to protecting our fellow New Yorkers, even when doing so comes at a personal cost.

The events of September 11 changed our state, our nation and the public safety profession forever. In the years that followed, countless first responders faced lasting physical and emotional consequences from their service at Ground Zero and beyond. Their sacrifice did not end on that day, and neither should our commitment to remembering them.

Today, we honor every victim of the September 11 attacks. We remember the police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, correction officers, military personnel and other first responders who answered the call to duty. We also remember the families who were left behind and continue to carry the weight of that loss 25 years later.

To the men and women of NYSCOPBA, who put on the uniform each day: your service matters. Your dedication, courage and professionalism continue the proud tradition of public safety service that New York has relied upon for generations.

On this 25th anniversary, let us never forget the lives that were lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families and communities forever changed by that day.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.
