Honoring First Responders on 9/11 – North Carolina First Responder’s Day

In honor, appreciation and remembrance of the sacrifices made on 09.11.01, The North Carolina State Firefighters’ Association takes this moment to say thank you to all First Responders. Putting others before yourself every time you report for duty honors the memory of every first responder we have lost and brings pride the communities you serve.

In 2017 the North Carolina Legislature marked today as North Carolina’s First Responder’s Day.  Tim Bradley, Executive Director for the North Carolina State Firefighters’ Association, says, “After the attacks on 9/11/01 we vowed to never forget the sacrifices made that day by first responders, 343 of whom were firefighters. Having this day each year as a state holiday will help keep the recognition of that sacrifice alive, and continue to honor those who serve their community with sacrifices every day.”

Chris Davis, President of the North Carolina State Firefighters’ Association, says, “We will continue to honor the sacrifices made on 09.11.01 and remember the heroism of the first responders involved.  On this day we honor you and the job you do each and every day.  Thank you.”

We remember because we will never forget. #EveryFirefighterEveryday
