🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET — 25 YEARS LATER 🇺🇸
On September 11, the Special Forces Brotherhood Motorcycle Club (SFBMC) and the Special Forces Association (SFA) Chapter 8 (Hawaii) were honored to once again coordinate the 9/11 Remembrance Ride and Ceremony at Honolulu Hale, marking the 25th Anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
For 25 years, we have carried the responsibility to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost that day, honor the first responders who ran toward danger, and recognize the service members who answered our nation's call in the years that followed.
The Remembrance Ride also gives us an opportunity to turn remembrance into action. Each year, we collect donations in support of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization carrying forward the legacy of 9/11 by supporting our nation's fallen and catastrophically injured first responders, military heroes, veterans, and their families.
This year's ceremony was especially meaningful as fellow Green Beret LTC (Ret.) Gil Mestler served as one of our keynote speakers. Gil brought a deeply personal perspective to the ceremony, he was at Ground Zero in New York City on 9/11, witnessing firsthand a day that forever changed America and ultimately sent an entire generation of Americans to war.
For those of us in the Special Forces community, September 11 is more than a date in history. Many of our brothers answered the call in Afghanistan, Iraq, and across the globe. Some never came home. Others returned carrying wounds that cannot always be seen.
Twenty-five years later, our promise remains the same:
Remember the fallen.
Honor those who served.
Support those who still carry the burden.
Teach the next generation what happened that day.
Thank you to everyone who rode with us, participated in the ceremony, and helped keep the memory of September 11 alive here in Hawaiʻi.
🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸
