Want To Be A Never Forget Writer? Have you ever wanted to write or speak for FDIC or an EMS conference and wondered how? We are seeking interested people who want to join our nonprofit group to write about either general public safety issues or specific content areas of interest (police, fire, EMS) to help us grow the site’s public safety readership. As a new site we are hoping to deliver high quality content, but are working on a shoe string budget and volunteer team. We would like to add additional voices who can help us make sure our perspectives are well rounded and we are not missing any opportunities.

Want To Be A Never Forget Writer?

We are looking for students seeking an internship. We are looking for stay at home parents looking for an added hobby. We are looking for experienced journalist retirees who still want to contribute. If you are a current paid or volunteer firefighter, police officer, or EMS responder we are looking to add your voice to provide a forum to publish best practices on incident response.

We are managed by a nonprofit and can provide school credit as needed, but as above, right now, we are seeking volunteer staff only. As we get off the ground and begin accepting advertising dollars, we expect to share that with both the original team (you) and to support our mission of keeping the public informed on a nonpartisan basis.

In recent weeks we have posted extensively about the Nashville bombing, responders who dishonored their badge, and are planning monthly training pieces on issues hitting responders. With the right writing team we can add content more regularly.

You can live anywhere as the operation is entirely remote at this point and you can be an early morning eagle or a night owl as long as you can help us hit deadlines.

So are you ready to be a Never Forget writer? If so, please contact us here.

Today is Veterans Day and everyone at Never Forget 9-11 Foundation wishes to say thank you to say thank you to all  those on this holiday for their service and the many sacrifices their families have made over the years.

We echo the words of President Harry Truman who said: “Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. American will never forget their sacrifices.” That belief was right when he said it and continues to be right now.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans, that is, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

It is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans, that is, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces (and were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable). It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Texas firefighter-EMT Diana Jones was killed battling a wildfire in northern California on Monday.  Jones died while battling the August Complex at Mendocino National Forest. She was a member of Cresson Volunteer Fire Department where she had served for nearly five years.

Cresson Fire Chief Ron Becker told FOX4, “She was a good firefighter. She was a good EMT and she was just a good person.” Jones’ son was also a member of the Cresson department and both responded to wildfires each summer through a company that contracts with the federal government.

The U.S. Forest Service confirmed that one firefighter was killed and another was injured battling the August Complex at Mendocino National Forest on Monday.

“Our department is numbed by the news and we are hurting,” the Cresson Volunteer Fire Department wrote in a Facebook post Monday.

The August Complex has burned nearly 243,000 acres and consists of 37 different fires, some of which have merged, that started on Aug. 17, according to U.S. Forest Service officials. About 690 personnel are battling the fire, which was 20% contained as of Tuesday morning.
