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.
