On that tragic day in 2001, 343 firefighters, 60 law enforcement officers, and 13 paramedics perished at the World Trade Center and on the ground in New York City. Many others have since succumbed to illnesses caused by exposure to dust and toxins during the rescue efforts. These brave men and women are remembered for their sacrifice and their dedication to saving lives, even in the face of unprecedented danger.

This solemn event serves as a time for the Oxford community to come together in remembrance of these heroes and the lives they touched.
