We Remember

On a quiet September morning 14 years ago, nearly 3,000 innocent people lost their lives in the worst terrorist attack in American history.

As we look back on the events that took place in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, it is important to remember the people we lost and to honor the heroic men and women who rushed to the scene as first responders and saved countless lives, even when it meant giving their own.

Every year since 2002, the firefighters of Station 11 have set 343 small flags in the grass in front of the station to remember each of the firefighters and law enforcement officers lost in the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.

The flags will be up through the weekend. The public is encouraged to visit the memorial and spend a few minutes in gratitude for the 343 first-responders who lost their lives that day.
