Nation Holds Solemn Vow To 'Never Forget' As Saint Paul Police Pay Homage To 9/11 Heroes

Today marks another year since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, when nearly 3,000 individuals lost their lives in an attack on American soil. In remembering this sobering moment in history, we recall the heroes who encompassed 343 New York firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York police officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers, who all bravely faced the turmoil of that day.

In a tribute to the fallen, a post on the Saint Paul Police Department's Facebook page honored the legacy of those lost. "We remember the families left behind, and those battling 9/11 related illnesses," the post read. The sentiment echoes across communities and serves as a stark reminder of the long-lasting impacts of that fateful day.

Amidst the ceremonies and moments of silence, it's not just the memory of the fallen that we hold onto; it's also a shared resolve to never forget the events that unfolded and the resilience that followed. As an additional shout-out to the many unsung heroes and ordinary citizens who offered support, their labor often goes unrecorded in the annals of history, yet remains indispensable in the narrative of 9/11.

The aftermath of the attacks continues to ripple through time, revealing itself not only in the skyline that forever changed but also in the lives of those who are still dealing with the consequences of exposure and loss. "And we will never forget," the post concluded – a vow that, despite the passage of years, holds a steadfast place within the collective heart of a nation.
