Remembering 9/11
Please join us on September 11 as we remember the 72 law enforcement officers we lost in the 2001 terrorist attacks. We continue to remember their sacrifice, as well as the that of the officers we continue to lose every year from illnesses relating to search and recovery efforts at Ground Zero. We honor them by remembering their names.
