Remembering September 11, 2001

Honoring Their Legacy: 25 Years Later, We Remember

On September 11, 2001, firefighters in New York City responded to the attacks at the World Trade Center, running toward danger to protect others. Firefighters also answered the call at the Pentagon in Virginia and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, courageously serving others in the face of unimaginable danger.  Their courage and sacrifice changed countless lives and became a defining chapter in the history of the fire service.

FROM OUR CEO VICTOR STAGNARO

25 Years After 9/11, ‘Never Forget’ Is a Promise We Must Work to Keep

In 2001 we promised to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We promised to support their spouses and children. We promised that firefighters affected by 9/11 would receive the care they need. This year, as the nation marks another year since 9/11, let’s keep the promises we made a quarter-century ago.

Ways you can keep the promise:

Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation launched #ForThe343, a nationwide movement inviting every American to honor the 343 firefighters who gave their lives that day — and every firefighter who has made the ultimate sacrifice since — through one shared act of remembrance.
