Message from Sheriff Wayne Ivey
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Twenty-four years, seems like forever ago, but feels just like yesterday to most of us as we remember exactly where we were that fateful day, that took the lives of so many American citizens and first responders.
The brave men and women, who represented the true meaning of the word “America” that day, when they risked their own lives to try and save anyone they could.
From those trying to take down the evil on the plane, to those running into the burning buildings, every one of them had a family and friends that they would never make it back to.
For those we lost, time forever stood still, but for their families, each day presses on without their loved one, their child, their spouse, their sibling, their friend, and their hero.
Twenty-four years ago on this very day we made a promise to never forget, to never forget the innocent lives taken from us that day and to always honor the courage, bravery, and determination of the selfless first responders who sacrificed their lives to try and save others.
Regardless of their age, race or religion, their lives were taken from them in a split second! Every opportunity that we should all have in life, stolen from them without a moments notice, by vile and disgusting terrorists with hate and evil in their hearts.
On that day, they did their job as they ran toward danger to save others!! Because of that, we carry on the promise to do our jobs and to keep making sure that they are never forgotten and are always remembered as heroes and American patriots.
While we keep that promise again on this and every other Patriot Day, our true job is to ensure that generations to come continue to remember and understand the true meaning of “We Shall Never Forget!”
God bless our fallen heroes!
– Sheriff Wayne Ivey
