Forged in the fires of 9/11.
Preserving the legacy of the heroes who answered the call.
Jesse and Tara Johnson-Brower founded the organization after witnessing the devastating gaps in support for veterans and first responders struggling with trauma.
The mission began by helping heroes in crisis and evolved into preserving the legacy of the heroes of September 11.
Search & Rescue Missions
The foundation has led search missions across the United States to locate missing veterans struggling with homelessness, addiction, or exploitation.
The 9/11 Memorial Walk
For the 20th anniversary of September 11, Jesse Johnson-Brower became the first person in history to walk between all three national 9/11 memorials.
He walked 487 miles across six states linking Ground Zero, the Flight 93 National Memorial, and the Pentagon Memorial.
9/11 Education
Today the foundation’s primary mission is education. Jesse shares the story of September 11 and the heroes who responded so future generations never forget.
Our Mission Today
During the COVID shutdowns the foundation was forced to restructure and close its counseling center operations.
Today the foundation focuses on two priorities:
Educating the public about the heroes of September 11
and
supporting heroes in need whenever possible.
Support the Mission
Help ensure the heroes of September 11 are never forgotten.
