25 YEARS. 343 FIREFIGHTERS. WE WILL NEVER FORGET
On September 11, 2001, 343 members of the New York City Fire Department made the ultimate sacrifice.
They entered the World Trade Center knowing the danger, driven by one purpose: to save lives. They ran towards the chaos while others were running away. 343 firefighters never returned home.
But the loss did not end that day.
In the years since 9/11, hundreds of additional firefighters and first responders have lost their lives to illnesses connected to the toxic dust and smoke they were exposed to while searching the ruins and serving their communities.
75 FDNY firehouses lost at least one member. Families lost fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends. The fire service lost heroes, leaders, brothers, and sisters who answered the call.
Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their sacrifice and “WE WILL NEVER FORGET”.
This video features four pieces of World Trade Center debris, serving as a lasting reminder of the lives lost and the sacrifices made that day.
