🇺🇸 25 YEARS LATER — WE REMEMBER. 🇺🇸

Today, the members of the Menands PBA pause to remember September 11, 2001 — a day that forever changed our nation.

We remember the 2,977 innocent lives who were taken from their families and loved ones. We remember the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and countless other first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away. We remember the extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and selflessness displayed that day and in the days that followed.

Twenty-five years later, their stories remain part of who we are.

We honor those we lost.
We stand with the families who continue to carry their memory.
And we will always remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

25 years later. Their sacrifice is not forgotten.

🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 — Forever in our hearts.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day & Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸

Today, we proudly celebrate 250 years of freedom, courage, and the enduring spirit of the United States of America. As we honor the generations of Americans who have defended our nation’s ideals, we also celebrate the communities that make this country strong.

The members of the Menands PBA wish everyone a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July. Whether you’re spending the day with family, friends, or neighbors, take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the sacrifices made to protect them.

As you celebrate, please remember to celebrate responsibly. If you’re enjoying alcoholic beverages, designate a sober driver, never drive impaired, and look out for one another. If you’re attending fireworks displays, follow all local laws and safety guidelines to help ensure everyone has a safe holiday.

From all of us at the Menands PBA, thank you to those who serve our country and our community.

Happy Independence Day, and here’s to America’s next 250 years! 🇺🇸🎆
