Reflections for Police Officer Moira Ann Reddy-Smith

Good evening Officer Smith,

I wanted to pay a visit to your memorial page on this 22nd anniversary of 9/11. I see there is no shortage of persons who've paid their respects to you over the years. I know your husband was very proud of you. I've prayed for him and your family, friends, loved ones and colleagues over the years. Just wanted you to know you and all other first responders who paid the ultimate price on that day, have not been forgotten. I hope you continue to rest in peace

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down their life for their friends. - John 15:13

On the anniversary of 9/11, I thank you and your comrades for your selfless duty and courage that momentous day. Your sacrifice and those of the victims and other first responders will forever be honored in the annals of brave men and women who gave their all for their city, state and for the United States of America. A hero in every sense of the word.

I never had the pleasure of meeting you but I remember walking through the 13th Pct while I was in the Academy and I often wonder if I had crossed paths with you before 9/11/01. I wear a memorial bracelet with your name on it and I make sure to keep your memory alive. This 9/11, I continue to pray for you and your family, may you forever be honored for the hero you are, God bless you, your family and may you eternally rest in peace.

I never knew Moira but am in reverent awe of her sacrifice and the sacrifice of all of her fellow officers, firefighters, and first responders who gave everything for us. I came across her name while visiting the 911 memorial in New York City from Houston Texas.

I am not sure if this method supports embedded links but this is an image I took while there.

I remember seeing P.O. Smith on the news as the attacks were happening. I later learned that she died in the attacks. I saw her shield at the first 9/11 memorial and then again at the permanent memorial. She served as an inspiration for me. I have done two tours overseas and have been a Boston policeman for over ten years now. I pray for her and her family, and I will always remember her sacrifice.

Officer Reddy-Smith,
On today, the 20th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of New York City and our Country as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was 10 years old when my father told me of the attacks that occurred while I was at recess, on the morning of 9/11/2001. Though I did not learn of the attacks until well over 7 hours after they happened, all I could think about was the victims and their families as I watched the news coverage. I knew many would be killed and that countless children would never see their parents again.

Nearly 20 years later, I still hold my Dad and siblings a little tighter. I thank you for your service and am in awe of your sacrifice.

17 years on from your death and its a day I still remember all the way from Edinburgh Scotland.

Its this sacrifice along with the others that I will never forget.

I now have 15 years service of my own. And this day in history has had a major impact on me personally and why I do what I do.

I visit your page often to pay my respects and say a little prayer for your family! Your courage and strength still amazes me! I've done some research on you over the years, not only were you the first officer to call in the attacks of 9/11, 1 of 2 female officer's to be killed that morning, but you also stopped a domestic terrorist attack in New York City in the early 90's as well while on duty. Last year your daughter read a beautiful reflection of you! Although I have never net your family I pray for them often!
