NOVEMBER 11 IS VETERANS DAY

2020 was difficult for everyone and it was the first time in over a decade, we were unable to physically walk in the New York City Veterans Day Parade due to the Global Pandemic.

However, this year we will again be able to honor our Nation’s Veterans in the annual New York City Veterans Day Parade.

To every man and woman in service:

Thanks for everything.

WHO WE ARE

A group of strangers who became family during their time volunteering at Ground Zero after September 11, 2001. Since 2002, our group of volunteers, responders and family members have united annually in tribute of those killed 9/11, as well as in tribute to those lost due to the events stemming from 9/11.

9/11 Didn’t End In 2001. Never Forget.

Bless the souls of all those lost on 9/11, those lost after and their families. Since September 11, 2001 “9,795 first responders, downtown workers, residents, students and others have been deemed with cancer that’s 9/11-related.” This horrifying fact comes directly from the World Trade Center Health Program and is discussed in multiple sources including The New York Post. 9/11 may have happened in 2001, but it’s effects on the world are not over.

A special thanks to our modern war veterans who have just returned…We see you, we thank you and…We haven’t forgotten.

PsychArmor is a nonprofit that offers FREE online training courses and resources for Americans so they can effectively engage with and support military service members, Veterans, and their families. Because fewer than 7% of Americans serve or have served in uniform, most civilians are unfamiliar with military culture. As a result, members of the military and Veteran community often feel misunderstood and reluctant to seek support. Their mission is to bridge that civilian-military gap by educating a nation. https://psycharmor.org

9/11 STATE OF MIND

REMEMBRANCE × COMMUNITY × TRIBUTE

This year we honored the fallen of 9/11 and our Nation’s Veterans in Nashville Tennessee for the very first time in eighteen years of Annual New York City Flag Tribute events. First, we were honored to display the Flag with the Nashville Fire Department on September 10th in honor of those lost on 9/11. Then following day, on September 11 @ The Famous Mission BBQ at 12 noon then lastly, The Flag was displayed upon The Walking Bridge in Downtown Tennessee at sunset.

May we honor the fallen and those still with us. God Bless America. 9/11 NEVER FORGET.
