Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families forever changed, and the countless first responders who answered the call in the face of unimaginable tragedy. For some of our own Pierce County Sheriff\u2019s Office staff, September 11 wasn\u2019t just something they watched unfold on television, they were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this special 25th Anniversary Memorial video, hear from some of our very own staff who traveled to New York and helped with the recovery efforts following the attacks on the World Trade Center. They share their personal experiences, memories, and the lasting impact of witnessing one of the darkest days in our nation\u2019s history. Their stories remind us of the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to service that defined the response to 9\/11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We remember those we lost.<br>We honor those who responded.<br>We will never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#NeverForget #911Memorial #25YearsLater #September11 #PierceCountySheriffsOffice #WeRemember<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_70732\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QAjsP--VM_4?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 11, 2001, changed our nation forever.
