A Prayer of Remembrance for Fallen Heroes

firefighter 9-11

Some might have stood by, but you stood up. You gave your lives so that others might

live. We are indebted to you, we are humbled by you.

When all hope was lost, when the world seemed like a dark and heartless place, you

restored our faith in people and our trust in God. You taught us hope, and fearlessness,

and honor.

We miss you. We will never forget your heroism. We will teach our children and

grandchildren about your courage in the face of danger. We will try with all our might to

live up to the example you have set.

We will not ignore human suffering, we will not be indifferent to the cries of those in

pain; you did not die in vain. You have changed us. You live on inside us, in pride and

love.

May God watch over you as you watched over us.

Rest in Peace. Amen.

honoring the heroes and those we lost
