On the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we honor and remember those who lost their lives and the heroism of the first responders. Thousands of National Guard members responded immediately and in the days and weeks that followed. #WeRemember911 #NeverForget (1/6)
Join us as we reflect on how that day changed our nation and our National Guard. #WeRemember911 ngpa.us/15800 (2/6)
"That pride in knowing that we were New Yorkers taking care of New York City was probably the most significant thing that went through our unit and made us feel more cohesive and more determined." - Maj. Gen. John Andonie #WeRemember911 (3/6) ngpa.us/15802
"I'll never forget the grim determination and focus of all those who volunteered to go to New York City when no one knew what they were getting into and if additional attacks were imminent." - Maj. Patrick Cordova #WeRemember911 (4/6) ngpa.us/15801
"Even though we didn't have any [information] at the moment, we just went out and started pre-flighting the aircraft and getting the emergency kits... [we] prepared to do whatever needed to be done to help support [the response]." - Col. Keith Graham ngpa.us/15804 (5/6)
“Our world was transformed by the attacks of 9/11, and our mission with it. In our collective shock and grief, we grew stronger. We vowed never to forget, and we have kept that promise.” - @ChiefNGB (6/6) #WeRemember911 ngpa.us/15803
