With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 fast approaching, we wanted to share the key components to our 9/11 memorial and the individual meaning behind each: the patrol cap, firefighter helmet, and twin towers, themselves.
Our NYPD/Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department patrol cap is one key piece of our 9/11 memorial featuring the Twin Towers, FDNY Firefighter helmet, and NYPD patrol cap.
The Patrol Cap not only pays tribute to the 37 Police Officers of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department, the 23 Police Officers of the New York City Police Department, the 8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics, and single Patrolman from the New York Fire Patrol who paid the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001, but also to pay tribute to all those Officers who selflessly served the citizens of New York City that day at the World Trade Center and throughout the city.
The badge number (2977) represents each and every one of the 2,977 men, woman, and children killed on September 11, 2001 - The attacks were the worst attacks in U.S. history and the most devastating foreign attack on United States soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
The immediate deaths of the terrorist attack on 9/11 included 246 on the four planes, 2,606 in the World Trade Centers and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon.
