Twenty-five years ago, our great nation was attacked by a group of extremist terrorists. These terrorists took the lives of 2,977 innocent people. The nation came together that fateful day and our nation’s first responders did what they do best, they showed up in a time of need and did what had to be done. Since then, thousands of first responders have died due to illnesses contracted through their response that day. We stand and salute the American heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect others. May their sacrifice never be forgotten.
