🇺🇸 HONORING THE HEROES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 🇺🇸

The City of West Point Fire Department and West Point Police Department are proud to recognize our members who participated in the LaGrange Fire Department’s 25th Anniversary Patriot Day Memorial Stair Climb.

This meaningful event honors the courage, sacrifice, and memory of the first responders and civilians who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the 343 FDNY firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, 37 Port Authority Police officers, and the thousands of others whose lives were lost that day.

Our Fire and Police personnel climbed in remembrance of those who answered the call on September 11—many knowing they were entering extraordinary danger, yet continuing forward in service to others.

We are proud of the members of the West Point Fire Department and West Point Police Department who represented our community and joined fellow first responders in ensuring that the courage and sacrifice of September 11 are never forgotten.

We climb because they climbed.
We remember because they sacrificed.
We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Never Forget 🇺🇸
