Proclamation By virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Bradenton, I do hereby issue this proclamation honoring Tribute to Heroes Day September 11, 2026 Whereas, on September 11, 2001, the United States suffered and endured one of the most horrific acts in our history, the attack of our homeland by terrorists who highjacked four jetliners in a carefully executed plan to fill Americans with fear and insecurity; and Whereas, the American people refused to be cowed, and stood proud and honored their lost countrymen with strength and dignity; and Whereas, 343 firefighters and 60 police officers lost their lives on that fateful day as they responded to the calls of the injured and trapped. They did not hesitate. They did not falter. They went forward regardless of the risk and are true heroes; and Whereas, September 11, 2001, proved to the world that heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They are the many firefighters, emergency services and law enforcement personnel who responded on that day, and are ready to respond again, whenever and wherever they are needed; and Whereas, the courageous and unselfish acts that day proved again that our country is truly the land of the free and the home of the brave. Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that, I, Gene Brown, as Mayor of the City of Bradenton, Florida, do hereby proclaim September 11, 2026, as Tribute to Heroes Day, and urge all citizens to reflect and remember those lost but never forgotten and thank those emergency response personnel who risk their lives daily. Their spirit endures in the breeze that lifts the Stars and Stripes each and every day. God bless America and all those that reside in her land from sea to shining sea.
