Captain Tim Lomdardi (CFFD, retired) delivered remarks this morning to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Captain Lombardi deployed with the Ohio Urban Search And Rescue Task Force 1 and searched through the debris pile at Ground Zero in New York City for twelve days, looking for survivors and recovering those lost. Captain Lombardi always remarked that he spent a large portion of his career honing his craft and that September 11th was the moment that all the hard work and dedication prepared him for. We are forever grateful for your dedication and service, Captain Lombardi.
