🇺🇸 Never Forget – September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember 9/11 — a day forever etched into the heart of our nation. We honor the countless heroes who ran toward danger when others fled — the police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and civilians who gave everything in service to others. Their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness stand as a timeless example of the very best of humanity.

We also pay tribute to the first responders who continue to serve our communities today. Every shift, every call, and every act of service reflects the same spirit of bravery and devotion shown on that fateful day. Your commitment keeps our towns and cities safe, and your sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

May we never forget those who were lost. May we forever honor those who served. And may we remain steadfast in our gratitude for all who still answer the call to protect and save lives in this great country.

In God We Trust.

Swayzee Residents,

As we approach the July 4th holiday, we would like to remind everyone to prioritize safety when handling fireworks. Additionally, we would like to highlight the Town Ordinance governing the use of fireworks and the permitted times for their discharge.

PLEASE be considerate of your neighbors' properties, including their yards and houses, when setting off fireworks. We encourage you to exercise common sense and avoid handling fireworks while under the influence of narcotics or alcohol. Our primary objective is to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents, including children, during this holiday period.

We will provide a link to the IDHS Firework Safety Page and a copy of the Town Ordinance below.

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable 4th of July celebration,

Marshal Miller
