BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
We wanted to share with you the work of the First Responders Foundation in Omaha, along with scenes from its annual 9/11 Luncheon of Honor.
The keynote speaker was retired Omaha Police Detective Shawna McClure, who spent 25 years in law enforcement. Today, she received a certificate of honor. Supporters of the foundation were also recognized for their contributions.
Todd Sears, President of the First Responders Foundation, said, “Every one of these events is unique, as we gather to remember that fateful day—and to honor our first responders for everything they do, every single day. It's nice to come together with everyone, but it's a solemn event as well.”
Also on display was the Nebraska Remembering Our Fallen exhibit, which honors Nebraskans who died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan after September 11th.
