Every year, the ride remembers and honors the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001."I'm going to get emotional. I'm so proud to do it with my dad, and it means the world to the both of us," said the daughter of retired New York firefighter and 9/11 first responder Larry Mack."You know, I hate using the word 'anniversary' but every year, we don't want to forget. We always want to remember our fallen brothers," said Mack.
After nearly 20 miles, 343 riders stopped at the Milford Fire Department for a quick break. Battalion Chief Adam Hansen says this year's ride was the first one in Connecticut. "When they called us to help out, we opened our doors and said what else can we do for you. In my opinion, it's very small what we're doing, but we're very proud," said Hansen.
