There are a few instances in every lifetime that have a profound effect on history, changing not just the history books, but also policy, foreign affairs, and the lives of millions of individuals. We experienced one such event on the morning of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.
At 8:46 am, New York was hit with the deadliest terror attack in human history, resulting in 2,977 fatalities, and tens of thousands of injuries. Among those most impacted by the events at the World Trade Center, were the first responders: police, fire, EMT, and other emergency crews. This Smith & Warren 9/11 20th Anniversary Remembrance Collection was created to honor and support those heroes.
Supporting the Tunnel to Towers Foundation
The collection from Smith & Warren, proudly offered by Badges Etc. comes with a pledge that 10% of Smith & Warren’s proceeds from every 9/11 20th Anniversary Remembrance Collection purchase will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Dedicated to helping first responders and military personnel, and to honor Stephen Siller (a fallen firefighter), the foundation helps provide Smart homes for those who have been catastrophically injured in the line of duty.
Through a variety of events, charity runs, and donation efforts like this one, you can help support your fellow emergency crew family members. Besides Smith & Warren’s monetary donation from your purchase of a 9/11 Anniversary badge, you will also have the chance to offer moral support and solidarity to those affected by one of the most devastating attacks in history.
9/11 20th Anniversary Remembrance Collection
As with any other line of badges sold by Badges Etc., the 9/11 20th Anniversary Remembrance collection offers custom options, including the option to base the design on your current duty badge.
These full-sized metal badges all proudly display a unique design featuring three symbols of the attack: the Twin Towers atop the Pentagon building, with a keystone representing Pennsylvania, the keystone state and the site of the flight 93 crash. Created specifically for this line of Remembrance badges, the design encompasses three major representations of September 11th, as a reminder that the attack was nation-wide, pulling an outpouring of resources and attention from all corners of the country, and then the world.
Encouraging viewers to remember that significant day in history, these badges also encourage people to remember unity, bravery, and the selflessness that the heroes of the day exhibited.
Creating Your Own 9/11 20th Anniversary Remembrance Badge
With options available in different shapes, sizes, designs and finishes, you’ll be able to wear the badge proudly as an expression of your compassion while also following your specific local uniform guidelines.
Completely customizable, you can enter the sentiments and badge details of your choosing, making these appropriate for both active duty badges, as well as treasured memorial items. Without badge numbers required, these items also serve as a powerful and meaningful memento for someone who may have lost a loved one in the line of duty.
With a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, the purchase of a 9/11 20th Anniversary Memorial Collection badge is a thoughtful way to proudly honor the lives of those who risked everything for the safety of others.
