Today, we pause to remember and honor the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families, first responders, military members, and communities forever changed by that day. As a fire company serving a community close to the Flight 93 National Memorial, we are honored to support our neighbors and fellow first responders. Today, our volunteer members were on standby to support the efforts at Flight 93 National Memorial as our community gathered for this morning’s remembrance ceremony.
