We made a promise.
Twenty-five years ago, our nation witnessed unimaginable loss, extraordinary courage, and a level of sacrifice that will forever be part of who we are.
For those of us in the fire service, September 11 carries a special weight. We remember the 343 FDNY firefighters who answered the call and never returned home. We remember the first responders, civilians, service members, and families whose lives were forever changed, as well as those who continued to suffer in the years that followed.
At Port Orange Fire Rescue, we honor that legacy through service to our community and by answering the call when someone needs us most.
That is how we honor those who came before us.
Twenty-five years later, the faces may change, the uniforms may change, and generations will come and go, but the promise is kept:
We Will Never Forget.
