Our Mission

On the morning of September 11, 2001, our world stopped. We will always remember the devastating, heart wrenching impact of terrorist attacks in Manhattan, New York, Arlington, VA, and Shanksville, PA. We will forever honor and remember the heroes who risked and gave their lives to save the lives of others. This September 11th, 2011, on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we invite you to come together as a community to commemorate the firefighters, emergency responders and souls lost on that day.
