Petition is addressed to: NYS Assembly, Buffalo Erie County New York
Since September 11, 2003, and every year on 9.11, the American flag has been flown across the Scajaquada pedestrian bridge in Remembrance of 2,977 lives lost on 9.11.01 and to honor our First Responders. Please sign this request for our elected leaders in the NYS Legislature who represent the Scajaquada bridge district, to sponsor a bill in the State Legislature name the bridge, "9.11 Heroes Bridge".
Reason
It's in knowing that when we are in urgent & immediate need, we rely on the training &. compassionate help of dedicated Police, Firefighters & EMTs. Every year the Police, Firefighters, and Emergency Medical personnel attend the Remembrance and represent ALL first responders in our area. The event occurs from 8:30am - 10:15am, the same timeframe as the original terrorist attacks. All citizens are able to attend and to present an American flag to fly over the bridge.
In 2011 it was the first responders' request to give this bridge a name and thus," 9.11 Heroes Bridge" be put on a sign for all passing underneath to be kept aware of the ever-present vigilance of emergency personnel in all situations in our homes, our families and our neighborhoods.

Why people sign
Each year on Veterans day, there's a ceremony and tribute that takes place honoring all Veterans. It' seems that the general public and the younger generations have no clue about what a veteran is and the sacrifice that Veterans make.
