Today, we continue to honor those heroes from 20 years ago as well as a new generation of firefighters, paramedics and others who may have become inspired on that fateful day to serve others. We also celebrate new and emerging heroes such as healthcare personnel and other essential employees who are working to keep us all safe and healthy during the global pandemic. On this 20th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001, we also remember and honor the courage of those who perished on that catastrophic day.
