Corpus Christi Port Police Chief Eric Giannimore urged the community to remember the bravery of civilians and first responders during his remarks at the 25th‑anniversary ceremony. He described the rescue efforts, the risks faced by responders and the courage shown by ordinary citizens who helped others that day.

“We remember the passengers and crew of flight 93 who made the courageous decision to fight back,” Chief Giannimore said, praising their actions as an enduring example of courage. He thanked the fire service, police and other responders for their selflessness and asked attendees to carry forward the legacy of those who sacrificed.
