It’s been 24 years since the world changed. In a commitment to remember our dead and all of my brothers and sisters who gave their lives to right that wrong over that last two decades, we made a commitment at SSD to commemorate that day every year.
I want to remember the feeling of the feeling of helplessness I experienced. I want to remember it because I don’t ever want to have the feeling again.
There were 2996 immediate deaths on September 11th, 2001. I will never forget the people who cheered that day, celebrating an attack on America and the deaths of so many innocents.
The crisis remains. Every year we lose more and more amazing people to issues caused by those events. Victims and rescuers alike suffer life threatening medical conditions due to the exposure to toxins during the attacks and continue to succumb to these lingering wounds. As a country, we must stand by them.
The toll…it weighs on.
Never Forgive, Never Forget
