People gathered at Edinburgh USA Golf Club in Brooklyn Park on Sept. 9 for a ceremony to commemorate the sacrifices made on 9/11.
The nonprofit helps provide financial support to families of first responders who died or were injured in the line of duty.
“Those that charged into that building, those buildings that came down, unfortunately in our society, the farther we get away from those events, people forget that it’s actually possible that it’s going to happen,” said St. Paul Police Commander Tim Flynn. “I know that in our police department and our fire department, we continue to train for the worst of worst days, and that was the worst day.”
Since 2018, the Front Line Foundation has paid out $575,000 in death benefits and equipment funding.
