September 9–12, 2026
New York City, New York
25th Anniversary of 9/11 Remembrance Events
I had the tremendous honor of spending several days in New York City supporting the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 remembrance events as an Ambassador for Hiring Our Heroes. This was an incredibly powerful and humbling experience. Throughout the week, I had the opportunity to spend time with members of the New York City Fire Department, friends and colleagues, and surviving family members of some of the 343 firefighters we lost on September 11, 2001. Being there to remember, reflect, and honor their sacrifice is something I will never forget.
I was especially impressed by the men and women of the FDNY. Twenty-five years later, they continue to get after their mission with an incredible sense of professionalism, pride, and commitment to service. Spending time with them and seeing firsthand how they continue to honor those who came before them was truly inspiring. Experiences like this reinforce the tremendous pride and respect I have for our first responders, law enforcement, our military, and all those who dedicate their lives to serving others and our nation.
I am incredibly grateful to Hiring Our Heroes for the opportunity to represent the organization during such an important week and to everyone who welcomed us and shared their stories.
We will never forget.
