An unforgettable evening of remembrance, gratitude, and unity.

At the 9/11 25th Anniversary: Tribute to First Responders at @truistpark, The Warrior Alliance Network, led by emcee @kelly_crull and hosts Scott Munn and @tugcowart, honored more than 250 law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency responders representing 25 departments across Greater Atlanta. Special guests Chief Brian Marcos, Smyrna Fire Department and TWA Board Member, along with Cobb County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Lisa Cupid paid tribute to first responders for their service to our communities. Following the tribute, these dedicated first responders and their guests enjoyed an evening of Atlanta Braves baseball. One of the evening’s most powerful moments was the emotional reunion between former Port Authority Director Kayla Bergeron and Port Authority Police Officer David Lim. On September 11, 2001, David helped guide Kayla and her group out of the North Tower as the South Tower collapsed around them. Kayla reached safety, while David remained behind to help others only to become trapped beneath tons of rubble for more than 5 hours. Their reunion was a moving testament to courage, selflessness, resilience, and the enduring bonds forged on one of our nation’s darkest days. We remember the 2,977 lives lost that morning, the nearly 9,000 people who have since died from illnesses related to toxic exposure, and the more than 57,000 who have been diagnosed with WTC cancer. And we will never forget September 11, 2001 or the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of America’s heroes. Thank you Choate Construction Company, @ga_power, @kaiserpermanente, @southwire, and @vystarcreditunion on for your support! #NeverForget #September11 #FirstResponders #TheWarriorAlliance #AtlantaBraves
