Twenty-five years later, some moments are impossible to forget.
On the eve of the 25th anniversary of September 11th, former President George W. Bush visited FDNY Ladder Company 3 on Thursday—the firehouse whose apparatus was so badly damaged in the collapse of the World Trade Center that it never returned to service. Today, that rig is preserved at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
President Bush spoke with members about the days and years that followed the attacks.
The bullhorn speech at Ground Zero. That unforgettable first pitch at Yankee Stadium. And the people who stood together when our city—and our country—needed them most.
A quarter-century has passed, but the memories remain. #NeverForget
As the sun sets over Lower Manhattan, the pipes and drums play.
FDNY members, family and friends gathered outside Engine 10/Ladder 10 for the annual Sundown Ceremony, honoring the 343 members and all those we lost on September 11, 2001.
25 years later, we remember. We will #NeverForget.
At 9:37 a.m. on September 11, 2001, Flight 77 struck the Pentagon. FDNY members outside Engine 10/Ladder 10 in Manhattan observe a moment of silence. #NeverForget
On the first anniversary of 9/11, a plaque was dedicated in Monument Park in tribute to the eternal spirit of all the innocent victims and to the selfless courage of the heroes who lost their lives helping others.
Today, Aaron Judge Gerrit Cole, and Aaron Boone laid a wreath at the 9/11 Monument in honor of all those who were affected 💙
Representing the 3,051 children who lost a parent on 9/11 and their families, Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire threw out tonight’s ceremonial first pitches at Yankee Stadium 💙
As Brielle said in her wedding vows to Sean, “you might be able to break down steel and structure, but you can never destroy love.”
Today, we join @Sept11Memorial to remember September 11, 2001 with a picture of the sky we all share.

In the aftermath of 9/11, baseball helped bring our city together, offering a sense of hope, healing, and normalcy during one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history 💙
After the attacks of September 11th, @TheLeeGreenwood's hit song “God Bless the U.S.A.” became an anthem uniting a grieving city and nation.
Prior to Game 4 of the 2001 World Series, Lee Greenwood stood at home plate of the original Yankee Stadium and performed the song as powerful tribute to the victims and first responders. On this 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we welcomed Lee Greenwood once again to sing “God Bless the U.S.A.” 🇺🇸
In Queens, a firetruck had to drive through water deep enough to float an SUV so firefighters could rescue drivers stranded on the hood of a truck. More: https://t.co/Ldm4RLDfiA
