The Forgotten Casualties of 9/11

16 posts in this topic

The 9th anniversary of 9/11 is coming up quickly and i thought it appropriate to properly remember are fellow brothers and sisters in EMS who gave their lives so that others may truly live. I can only hope that this does some justice as the sacrifices of these brave men and women are consistently overlooked. God bless them all.

Also, let us not forget those EMS personnel who were not on duty during the attacks, but nevertheless rushed into the Towers to help others, and, in doing so, gave their lives:

In addition, we also remember those EMS Personnel who perished due to illnesses related to cleaning up the debris at 9/11:

Thank you for posting and remembering these casualties of 9/11. One of the above who lost his life that day was a partner to a friend of mine. He was working with him that day. He had told me his story of how he saw his partner die. A young EMT that will live with that for the rest of his life. And he is lucky to be alive himself, as he had some pretty serious injuries. A head injury, burns to his back and pieces of glass, wood, and cement dust embedded in that back also. One of the things that he had mentioned to me was that nobody really cared about the EMS Workers that died that Day.

I hope that this tread will show him that "we do care", and thanks to some, "they have NOT been Forgotten". They were Hero's just like those Firefighters and Police Officers we sadly lost on the Worst Day in America.

Goose, thank you for remembering the EMS personnel from that day.

Remember the Fallen, not how they died, but how they lived and served.

I appreciate that and those who added to the roll of honor. And to you're friend for his sacrifices.

It's a sad reality, something that pains me. What's so remarkable about so many of these men and women is that they made multiple trips to and from the scene to find, treat and transport patients. We're talking about two and three or more trips to and from the trade center - fully aware of the existing and potential dangers. It's simply beyond humbling.

No Goose, its "I" appreciate what "You" have done. For your EMS service to the people of NY and for you putting a face to the many EMS workers we lost that day. And "I" appreciate "DMC2007", and "Cpage" for adding those pictures too. Each one of those EMS workers we lost that day died a Hero helping their fellow man. Each one a family of their own, whether a brother, mother, father, or sister.

You helped me to understand better just what these brave people did on that Terrible Day. You helped me to understand some of the pain my friend apparently is going through. He had mentioned to me of how counselors really didn't help. His help has only comes from the Emergency Service workers that were there that day.

I for one will NEVER Forget those EMS workers we lost. And putting up those faces reminds us of who those Great Americans really were. "THANK YOU".

EMS, the TRUE forgotten heroes of 9/11. We all hear and appreciate the 343, 37 and 23 but we hear NOTHING about the EMS portion of the response and those lives lost in such a noble profession. To those lost, 'WE WILL NEVER FORGET!'
