The LIVMA joins in remembering and honoring all those who helped with the search and rescue at Ground Zero.
As we take time to reflect on the 10th Anniversary of a day none of us will ever forget, let us come together to grieve, to remember, to express our gratitude to those who demonstrated what it is to be a hero, and to pledge ourselves to live in honor of their bravery.
And thank you to all the VMAT members and volunteers
who helped with the many weeks of rescue work which followed.
