​
According to the Department of Homeland Security, 4.6 million career and volunteer first responders support the communities where they live. They are firefighters, police, emergency medical technicians (EMT), paramedics, and 911 operators. In an emergency, they’re the first on the scene. These dedicated professionals answer the call when a crisis arises, often putting their own lives on the line.

To memorialize the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001, please join the Valley of Nashua on Tues., November 16th as we honor the First Responders / Local Heroes with a dinner at 6:30pm and the program of the evening at 7:30pm.
