Of the 343 FDNY brothers lost on this day 18 years ago, one was Chaplain Mychal Judge. As he prayed for the injured and dead, he was struck by debris from the collapsing South Tower.

We will never forget that horrible day and all the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

14 years on, and it still rings true. A lot has changed, not just in New Orleans, but in the entire fire service across the country as a result of Katrina.Today we remember the 1,833 souls lost during Hurricane Katrina. We still mourn the loss of so many things from those fateful days, weeks, and months, but we came out of it stronger and more determined to make our small city the best it can be.
