On September 11, 2001, emergency response personnel gave their lives in the line of service during a terrible tragedy, and the men and women who bravely died to save others and protect freedom are remembered alongside those who protect the community daily. On July 28, 2015, Swainsboro Police Chief Randy Ellison, Swainsboro Fire Chief Mike Strobridge, SAL Squadron 103 Commander Henry Thompson, and Swainsboro City Administrator Al L. Lawson traveled to New York City to meet firefighters from Rescue One New York City Fire Department. During that meeting, New York City firefighters presented SAL Squadron 103 and the City of Swainsboro with a piece of the Twin Tower II remains, and that piece of steel is embedded in the EMS/Fire/Police memorial in dedication to those who gave their lives.
