Today a few of our officers had the privilege of attending a deeply meaningful ceremony at Wounded Warrior Battalion-East, Camp Lejeune where steel from the South Tower of the World Trade Center was donated by Nassau County NY firefighters through Operation Wounded Warrior.

Even more meaningful, several first responders who actually responded on September 11th were present.

It was an honor to witness such a powerful piece of history. Thank you, Wounded Warrior Battalion-East Camp Lejeune, for inviting us to be a part of this meaningful dedication.
