We shall never forget our 343 lost brothers
A 20-foot column from the World Trade Center stands outside FHMTC. This year once again, Department members joined with the community and local officials to commemorate the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
In Hollywood, members of the LAFD Historical Society and firefighters, both active and retired, raised the stars and stripes during the annual 9/11 memorial program at the Fallen Firefighters Memorial Plaza.
In Sherman Oaks, Fire Station 88 held a public memorial ceremony in observation of the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The site houses a 750-pound piece of the World Trade Center rubble and 100-pound piece of limestone from the Pentagon.
The years continue to pass since our nation was savagely attacked. But while time moves forward, it in no way lessens the resolve of firefighters who loudly pledge: We Shall Never Forget!
