Patriot Day
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 is a day that we shall never forget. Local 1014 Members were either at home with their families or serving Los Angeles County citizens when terror struck our hearts and the hearts and souls of all Americans.
The world watched in horror while the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in D.C, and a field in Shanksville Pennsylvania became the vision of terror on and in our homeland.
On that morning Americans stood strong and fought with incredible courage and wrapped in Red White and Blue, we all rose to the high standards that America was built on.
Firefighters and Paramedics who responded to the Pentagon, Shanksville PA, and the World Trade Center, which took 343 of our Bravest, became Americas’ symbol of hope and honor and resilience during this time of tragedy.
We all take time today to stay true to our commitment… “We Shall Never Forget”. As you move through your day, take time to remember and honor all those who served and gave all including our great Military Personnel in addition to our Firefighters.
Local 1014 Members and all of the People who make up the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Los Angeles County Fire Fighters are the proudest and most honorably serving members in the Country and it is with great pride that we stand together to honor our Country and all who serve. May God bless us all and our Country.
