9/11 Remembrance - September 11, 2023

A

C
Let's
pray,
father
God.
We
are
here
today
to
remember
those
who
sacrificed
their
lives
in
the
service
of
others
and
Lord.
I
pray,
As,
We
Gather
today,
I
pray
that
you
be
with
their
friends
and
family
who
are
thinking
of
them
and
fresh
ways,
even
all
these
years
later,
and
so
we
pray
that
you
would
be
with
them.
C
Lord
I
pray
that
you
would
watch
over
them
watch
over
the
men
and
women
here
in
this
department
who
serve
you
in
that
way,
keep
them
safe
and
Lord,
as
we
consider
the
love
of
someone
who
would
lay
down
their
life
for
their
friend.
We're
grateful
that
father
God,
you
loved
us
enough
that
you
gave
your
son
Jesus
Christ
for
us
we
were.
We
are
not
deserving
of
such
Grace,
but
we
are
grateful
for
you.
In
the
name
of
Jesus,
we
pray,
amen,
amen.
D
D
So
I
appreciate
each
of
you
taking
some
time
out
of
your
day,
your
business,
your
jobs,
to
come
here
so
before
we
it's
we're
humbled
to
have
you
here
in
our
home
again
we're
glad
we
can
do
this
each
year.
It's
very
important
to
us.
Obviously
I
think
for
your
attendance
being
here.
It's
very
important
to
you
as
well
I
know
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
Everybody
has
plenty
to
do,
but
again
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
join
us

So
we
we
have
a
few
people

soon
as

We
certainly

Thank

much.

again
another
long
time
and
a
constant
yearly
supporter
again,
thank
you
for
being
here
to
spend
this
time
with
us.
D
F
The
things
were
coming
up
on
YouTube,
it
was
all
about
9,
11.
and-
and
you
re-watch
that
again
because
we
say
we're
never
going
to
forget
and
as
much
as
sometimes
I
don't
want
to
click
on
it.
You
click
on
it
and
you
watch
it
and
you
see
it
again
and
you
relive
it
and
you
feel
it
again
and
that's
what
I
did
for
the
last
couple
weeks.
It's
just
reminding
myself
because,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
this
is
my
Pearl
Harbor
I'm
alive.
F
Doing
this
one
I
wasn't
alive
doing
Pearl
Harbor,
but
I
love,
history
and
I
can
only
imagine
what
the
country
was
going
through
when
Pearl
Harbor
was
bombed
and
then
to
remember
exactly
where
I
was
driving
through
the
gates
of
the
Ascension
Parish
in
jail.
When
I
was
divorced
to
hear
that
the
World
Trade
Center
was
hit
and
then
getting
into
my
office
and
putting
on
that
TV
and
I
was
I.
Just
just
knew
there's
no
way
those
buildings
would
go
down.
F
They
won't
do
it
they're,
just
too
big
they're
too
strong
they're
not
going
down
and
to
watch
the
First
Responders.
The
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
firemen
that'll
run
into
that
the
police
officers
run
into
that
and
going
up
that
building
and
I've
seen
the
pictures
of
them
in
the
staircase
and
you'll
see
and
everybody
is
running
down,
but
they're
running
up
and
I
see
it
in
their
eyes.
F
F
So
it's
good
to
be
in
the
house
here
with
my
my
fire
friends,
all
my
EMS
workers
and
as
much
as
we'd
like
to
to
pick
on
each
other
and
Josh
with
each
other.
We
do
it
all
the
time,
but
I
say
this
all
the
time
and
I'll
say
it
again
today
that
you
know
Thin,
Red,
Line
and
not
Thin.
Blue
Line
has
been
woven
together
here
in
essentially
Parish,
and
it
makes
a
purple
line
which,
to
me
is
royalty.
It's
what
service
is
all
about.
F
E
D
So
I
was
kind
of
gauging
how
much
time
we
would
have
because
I
got
somebody
else.
I
want
to
come
up
here,
give
an
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words,
but
it
gets
dark
around
eight
o'clock
or
so
so.
I
had
to
time
myself.
So
dual
roles
now
James
LeBlanc
is
here
and
James
is
a
fire
chief
in
Santa,
mall
and
pit
Ward
he's
a
Parish
Fire
coordinator
from
five
district
one,
not
the
coordinator
board,
chairman
of
the
board
for
five
district.
D
H
H
This
is
where
I
started
as
a
young
19
year
old
fire
chief
right
here
in
Prairieville,
and
this
this
staff
and
Mark
chief
steward
and
chief
Carpenter
have
really
taken
this
fire
department
to
another
level
way
above
level
that
I
could
have
ever
done
as
a
young
boy.
But
it's
good
to
see
some
old
friends
here
today,
but
I
just
can't
say
enough
about
this
department
what
they
do
when
it
comes
to
this
9
11
ceremony.
H
Every
year,
every
year,
every
year,
every
year,
22
years
we've
been
coming
and
and
paying
tribute
to
the
people
that
lost
their
lives.
I'll
just
remind
you
that
this
beautiful
ceremony
takes
place
at
9
30
and
then
at
11
30.
We
do
the
same
thing
at
Fire,
District
number,
one
on
Airline,
Highway
right
there
across
from
snow,
so
feel
free
to
join
us.
There
too.
H
The
funeral
home
and
the
Ralph's
Supermarket
and
everybody
else
plays
a
very
important
role
in
that
too.
So,
since
I'm
on
a
timer
I'll
just
say,
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
everything
that
you
do
and
and
great
job
with
this
staff
and
this
beautiful
facility
or
I.
Remember
when
all
this
wasn't
even
here,
so
it's
great
to
be
back
home.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
I
D
I
can
remember
pretty
much
my
exact
timeline
that
morning,
as
a
sheriff,
whoever
said
earlier,
I
think
most
of
you
probably
remember
if
you
were
here
at
that
point
in
time,
once
your
day
consisted
of
I.
Think,
like
a
lot
of
people,
sat
in
disbelief
of
what
unfolded
before
our
eyes
from
the
get-go
that
someone
would
be
bold
enough
to
attack
our
country.
D
Whoever
said
also,
you
know
this
week,
I
always
go
back
and
start
reflecting
and
watching
I've
got
some
old
things
in
my
office.
In
there
a
lot
of
you
probably
don't
understand,
they
call
VHS
tapes
back
22
years
ago,
I
actually
recorded
a
lot
of
these
shows
and
stuff
relevant
to
911..
I
was
privileged
and
honored.
I
won't,
say
fortunate
I,
don't
say
honored
and
privileged
to
be
deployed
and
go
work.
D
But
you
know
this
was
the
higher
Pearl
Harbor
911
for
those
of
us
that
were
not
here,
then
most
of
us
here
today
were
around
in
2001.,
so
every
year
or
when
I
do
this
I
talk
a
little
bit
about
my
experiences
up
there,
but
I
just
want
to
say
last
night,
I,
don't
know
if
you
saw
it.
60
Minutes
did
a
little
documentary
about
9,
11
remembering
and
they
focused
on
the
FDNY,
the
fire
department
of
New
York.
But
you
know
they
talked
to
a
lot
of
the
leadership
there.
D
D
You
can
see
that
command
structure,
structure,
Chief
Hayden,
their
Chief
safety
officer,
Chief
Tucci,
was
very
concerned
about
the
safety,
but
as
Chief
Hayden
told
him,
we
can't
just
turn
around
and
leave
we're
here.
We
have
a
job
to
do.
We've
got
to
go
and
get
these
people
when
we
do
that,
we'll
reconvene-
and
maybe
we
talk
about
evacuating
out
of
here
and
seeing
what
happens,
but
there
was
no
ever
any
conscious
thought
of
backing
away
and
and
just
letting
it
go
not
as
long
as
there
was
people
there.
D
You
listen
to
some
of
the
videos
and
battalion
chief
Oriole
Palmer
Fire
Marshal
Ronald
Bucca.
They
made
it
up
to
the
78th
floor
in
the
South
Tower,
that's
the
fire
floors.
They
made
it
up
to
where
the
destruction
was,
and
you
can
hear
their
radio
Transmissions
as
they
talk
about
numerous
disease
civilians.
A
lot
of
injured
and
gung-ho
like
some
of
us
are
in
the
fire
service.
D
I
know
it's
hard
to
believe,
but
you
can
hear
battalion
chief
Ariel
Palmer
calling
ladder
one
five
Ladder
15
coming
up
behind
him,
a
tower
we've
got
spot
fires.
Give
me
some
give
me
two
lines
we
can
handle
this
with
two
lines,
so
you
got
about
35
floors,
burning,
give
me
two
lines
and
we
can
handle
this
with
two
lines
of
water.
Optimism:
optimism!
That's
what
this
job
is
all
about.
D
We
have
to
go
out
and
to
always
try
to
do
what's
right
and
work
for
the
best
outcome,
and
always
that's
that's
our
Focus.
So
just
today,
I
wanted
to
take
a
little
time
to
talk
about
a
few
numbers
numbers
that
sometimes
we
forget
about
earlier.
I
was
talking
outside
we'd
with
news
and,
and
we
were
talking
about
22
years
down
the
road
and
so
many
times
you
encounter
people
and
in
schools
and
stuff
there's
children
there
now
I'm,
not
just
on
my
primary
school
throughout
school.
D
They
were
not
even
born
and
a
lot
of
them
have
never
heard,
don't
necessarily
know
what
happened
in.
So
on
that
day,
9
11,
2001,
343,
firefighters,
EMS
personnel
with
FDNY,
were
killed.
23
New,
York
Police
Department
officers
were
killed
that
day,
37
Port
Authority
police
department
officers
were
killed.
That
day.
G
D
As
of
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
341
fire
department
of
New
York
firefighters
have
died
from
9,
11,
related
cancers
and
illness.
Only
two
left
and
died
that
day
on
9
11.,
approximately
241
New
York
Police
Department
officers
have
died
from
cancer
and
other
9
11
related
illnesses
in
the
22
years,
following
9,
11.
D
D
over
2
000
responders
in
total
at
this
time
have
died
from
9
11.,
approximately
right
now,
ten
thousand
First
Responders.
That's
fire
and
law
enforcement
that
were
involved
in
9
11.
Approximately
ten
thousand
have
some
form
of
cancer
related
to
9
11..
So
it's
a
matter
of
time
and
these
numbers
are
going
to
keep
going
up.
So
when
we
talk
about
have
we
forgotten
after
9
11,
there
was
so
many
terrorism
grants
and
stuff
that
you,
you
couldn't
shake
the
money
out
of
your
Alpha
Monday.
D
You
feed
now
there's
very
little
of
that,
because
nothing
like
this
has
happened
on
our
soil
since
then.
So
it's
easy
to
start
forgetting
them,
because
we're
not
getting
what
we
used
to
get
not
as
much
terrorism
training.
We
still
do
some,
you
know,
and
and
fire
service
and
law
enforcement,
not
nearly
as
much
as
we
were
doing
back
then
so
sometimes
when
we
talk
about
and
it
was
22
years
ago,
you
know
some
people
say
when
you're
going
to
let
it
go
well
we're
not
going
to
let
it
go
that.
D
D
So
we
could
put
that
piece
out
there
for
the
general
public
to
come
by
and
see
and
for
us
every
day
when
we
walk
in
and
out
of
this
building,
we're
able
to
see
that
so
personally,
I
don't
forget
and
the
goal
of
doing
these
kind
of
things
every
year
on
this
anniversary
is
to
make
sure
the
rest
of
us
don't
forget.
Sometimes
people
need
a
little
prodding,
sometimes
a
little
little
help
to
remember.
So
that's
what
we
do
here
today.
D
D
This
event
continues
to
take
a
toll.
It
continues
to
take
a
toll
on
citizens.
You
know,
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
in
New,
York,
City
that'll
be
sick
at
some
point
in
time
with
9
11,
9,
11,
related
illnesses
and
it'll,
eventually,
possibly
take
their
lives
or
certainly
demean
the
their
ability
to
live
a
quality
life
and
again
that's
happening
throughout
the
fire
service
and
law
enforcement
for
those
that
were
there
and
did
that
day.
D
So
important
reason
to
continue
to
remember
is
because
this
continues
to
exact
a
toll
in
our
emergency
services,
and
so
we
shouldn't
forget
we
should
never
forget,
but
certainly
as
long
as
it
continues
to
take
the
lives
of
firefighters
and
law
enforcement
officers
and
other
First
Responders,
and
even
just
our
citizens
of
this
country,
we
should.
We
should
never
forget
so
when
you
leave
today.
D
Of
course,
after
you
have
the
good
refreshments
and
all
of
that
stuff,
I
would
ask
that
you
take
a
moment
and
you
walk
over
there
by
the
memorial
and
just
take
a
moment
and
you
feel
free
to
touch
it
whatever.
You
might
want
to
do
and
just
see
that
and
and
just
let
that
let
that
beam
into
you
for
a
little
bit,
and
so
we
all
remember
how
important
this
is
and
again.
Thank
you,
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
coming
today
and
at
this
time,
I'm
gonna,
I'm,
gonna
stop
and
I'm
gonna.
A
I
Next
part
of
the
program
will
reflect
on
the
Louisiana
victims.
We
had
five
victims
from
Louisiana
that
perished
on
that
horrific
day.
At
the
end
of
each
name,
Chief
Cooper
will
ring
the
bell
one
time:
U.S
Navy
Lieutenant
Michael
Scott
lamina
31
from
Baton
Rouge.
He
he
was
also
a
member
of
the
Saint
George
Fire
Department
in
station
64
on
George
O'neill
Lane
is
named
in
his
honor
posthumously.
