Every 11th of the month, we pause to look up.
The sky has become a powerful symbol of 9/11 memories — of a clear September morning, of lives lost, and of resilience that endures.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. As we approach that milestone, we continue to honor those we lost and reflect on how remembrance connects us across time and place.
Wherever you are today, take a moment to #RememberTheSky
The UFA regretfully announces the WTC-related passing of retired Lieutenant Andrew J. Graf, Engine 167.
Lt. Graf was appointed to the FDNY in 1970 and served for 33 years before retiring in 2003. He also served during the rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero.
Never Forget
This week, the FDNY held dedication ceremonies for the inaugural World Trade Center Retired Responders Wall—honoring 154 members from all five boroughs who were retired at the time of the September 11th attacks and responded to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site.
The wall is located directly across from the World Trade Center Memorial Wall inside FDNY Headquarters. Together, the two memorial walls honor the growing number of FDNY members who have died from illnesses related to their response to the attacks.
We will never forget their service and sacrifice at Manhattan Box 5-5-8087 World Trade Center.
