We will be opening late on 9/11. We’ll be participating in a local stair climb alongside other first responders, military/veterans, and family members. I hope everyone can find a moment to remember those we lost on this day years ago as well as honor the incredible sacrifices that have been made both stateside and abroad.
1. Twin towers
2. Tribute in Light, a memorial featuring two powerful beams of light that rise into the sky from Lower Manhattan.
3. Single white roses are placed on the name of each victim whose birthday falls on that day, symbolizing remembrance and honoring their lost lives.
4. The Staten Island 9/11 Memorial, also known as “Postcards,” is a memorial located on the waterfront in Staten Island, New York, that honors the 263 Staten Island residents who died in the 9/11 attacks.
5. Ladder Truck 118 is remembered for its “iconic image” crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on the morning of September 11, 2001, which captures the crew’s final run to the World Trade Center. Six firefighters on the truck perished when the Marriott World Trade Center hotel collapsed, but they had helped save hundreds of lives by assisting people from the building before its collapse.
6. America’s Response Monument, subtitled De Oppresso Liber (To Free the Opressed), is a bronze statue in Liberty Park overlooking the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City. Unofficially known as the Horse Soldier Statue, it is the first publicly accessible monument dedicated to the United States Army Special Forces.
