The terrorist attacks of 2001 happened twenty-five years ago today. The events of that day have redefined American culture and identity and put forward the often under appreciated importance of the first responders who risked life and limb to aid survivors that day.
Being a first responder is to neglect protecting the self in order to protect and serve others, it is among the ultimate contributions one can make to their society, often at great personal cost.
Today, perhaps more than any other, America is reminded of the weight of that cost.
PSS, with the rest of the nation, remembers 9/11 and those who served that day.
