NEVER FORGET.
Twenty-five years ago today, our nation was forever changed.
We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the extraordinary courage of the firefighters, first responders and countless individuals who ran toward danger to help others.
The words of Captain James McGregor’s Climb Higher, a tribute to the New York City firefighters, remain especially meaningful today:
“And when you’re tired and feel like quitting, remember them, they did not stop.”
For NFA, September 11 is also a part of our history we will never forget.
In the aftermath of the attacks, NFA assisted Century 21, the iconic lower Manhattan department store located directly across from the World Trade Center, with its recovery from major damage to the building and its contents. NFA also assisted numerous other businesses affected by 9/11, including brokerage firms, restaurants, office buildings, financial institutions, medical centers and retailers, as well as Monster.com and Sbarro Inc.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who kept climbing, and the resilience of the people and businesses of New York City.
We will never forget.
