The men and women who gave their lives on September 11, 2001, are true heroes. Instead of running from the collapsing buildings, these emergency responders, firefighters, police officers, and other professionals ran towards the damage, determined to save as many lives as they could. The fact that doing so cost some of these people their own lives simply shows what amazing heroes they were. The people they saved are grateful to them for their lives every day.
Many people strive to honor these fallen heroes on a daily basis. Some fly the American fly from their house or from the back of their motorcycle. Some other bikers add patches to their jackets and other items that honor the finest and the bravest. For example, there's this 911 patch honor the finest and bravest. It shows the Statue of Liberty and the twin towers behind it. Of course, there are also a number of memorials in New York and around the country that also honor these fallen heroes.
In addition to honoring those who gave their lives on 9/11, this patch and others like it also honor those who risked their lives and were injured in doing so. Many people went into the collapsing towers on that day, and some still relive the horrors they saw whenever they close their eyes. These brave men and women appreciate knowing that their service is appreciated, and they love to see people wearing patches like this one. Remind them that they are valued and that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
