10th Anniversary – We Will Remember You is a haunting song written for the fallen first responders of September 11, 2001. All of the images in the video are of first responders at work on 911. The song has been featured on BBC radio, Fox News, KUSI San Diego News and ABC. It was piped out over the USS Stennis not long after the event. It is hosted by numerous beautiful 9/11 memorial websites like world-memorial.org and is thought of as an anthem by and for firefighters and police officers for what they do every day, as well as those brave souls lost at the World Trade Center.
Robyn, who sings the vocals, also plays the bagpipes in the bridge and Amazing Grace at the end. The bagpipes are played at every firefighter’s funeral and at many police officer funerals. You might recall the many funerals that occurred after 9/11 to honor them and the presence of bagpipes. You might also recall that when the World Trade Center site was finally cleaned up, there was a beautiful ceremony with a pipe band leading the US Flag draped coffin taken out of the site in memorial, to honor all the fallen first responders.
In this video, during Amazing Grace at the end, played on the Great Highland Bagpipes, a list of all the fallen first responders scrolls by. The list was so long that the music ended long before their names finished rolling by and it is incredibly solemn to watch.
