Today, Court Officer Desmond Edmond paused to reflect on one of the most tragic days in our nation’s history and to honor the lives forever changed by September 11, 2001.
Pictured is a powerful photograph taken by Mr. Stanley Wang, now 86 years old, who has faithfully returned year after year to help ensure that we never forget. Several years ago, Mr. Wang generously donated this photograph to the Greenburgh Town Court, where it remains proudly displayed as a solemn reminder for all who enter.
The photograph was taken in 2000—just one year before the world would change forever. On September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent lives were lost, countless heroes answered the call, and our nation came together in grief, courage, and unity.
Mr. Wang’s dedication reflects the commitment of the New York State Towns & Villages Court Officers Association: to honor those we lost, remember the sacrifices of our first responders and public servants, and preserve the resilience and unity shown by communities across our nation.
May we continue to remember, reflect, and honor their legacy.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸
