On this day, we honor and remember the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call on September 11th, 25 years ago. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all those whose lives were forever changed by that day.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the first responders across the country who continue to work tirelessly to protect and serve their communities. 🇺🇸
As a small token of our appreciation, we spent some time with the firefighters of DFD Station 3, dropping off some Legit. Texas. Barbecue to help fuel them through their day. ❤️💙
We’re grateful for the men and women who put service above self every day.
Learn how you can support first responders in your local area by visiting The Dickey Foundation through the link in the first comment. ❤️
