BACKGROUND

In 2017 the NC General Assembly designated September 11^th of each year as First Responders Day, making it an official state holiday pursuant to G.S. 103-4(a)(10a). The date of September 11^th was chosen in recognition of the sacrifices made by first responders at the World Trade Center attack in New York.

The proclamation recognizes the 25^th anniversary of September 11^th and commemorates this year’s First Responders Day.
