The firemen of the NYFD that went into the Towers knowing that they were almost certainly going to lose their lives are true heroes. Their dedication to the service of others is an example to us all. Long may they be remembered for their sacrifice in the cause of humanity. May they rest in peace.

From Expedition 60 flight engineer Drew Morgan from aboard the International Space Station (via Twitter):

Honoring the brave public servants of FDNY. Thank you for your service, we remember your fallen comrades. Your flag and patch are proudly orbiting the Earth on board the space station!

Reply from the FDNY:

Thank you, Dr. Morgan, for your tribute to our 343 members who made the Supreme Sacrifice 18 years ago today. We wish you a safe and healthy journey on Expeditions 60 and 61.
