To the family and loved ones of Lieutenant Robert Cirri and his fellow officers with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department and most especially to Robert:

Mere words seem insignificant to honor your heroism and courage which will never be forgotten. On this the fifth anniversary week of the tragic devastation wreaked upon our nation, those brave men and women who lost their lives safeguarding others are remembered and revered.

May your spirit continue to soar and your memory continue to inspire.

In reading the loving reflections left by your son, your wife Eileen, and by your broken hearted parents, I can see that you were an amazing man who is so loved and so missed by so many.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect and gratitude for the distinquished service Robert gave to his community and country, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on September 11, 2001.

Know that we do pick ourselves up every day & carry on, but ALWAYS wonder what if you were still here. I hope you are always looking over us, and we carry you in spirit. I ALWAYS will love you...that will never go away.
Love your wife

Lt. Cirri was a great help to me when in 2000 when I was a Training LT. with the Fairview Emergency Response Unit "volunteer ambulance corp. Fairview NJ". He came to our HQ and instructed us in EMS to maintain knowledge as EMT's and keep up our credits. I was impressed by his knowledge and enjoyed his sense of humor during instruction. Thank you LT.

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.

You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because God honors it.

You gave the ultimate sacrifice, your life for your fellow man, while serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.

Thank you for your service to America. Your efforts saved thousand that horrible day.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. You will be in our hearts forever.

I tried to attend as many funerals as I could during these darkest of days as my way of showing respect to families and coworkers of all of my brother and sister Officers and Firefighters. I cannot find the words to say how sorry I am that we have lost these great heroes. I cannot express my thanks enough for your bravery and sacrifice. My prayers are with you and all of your families......................AC

My heartfelt sorrow goes out to the Cirri family. I know what a loss you are all feeling. I have had the honor to not only know Rob as a friend prior to working for the NYNJ PORT AUTHORITY but to have him as a fellow co-worker and then a boss at the Bus Terminal. Rob was one of the all around great people that you come across once in your lifetime. I consider myself very lucky to have met him, known him and worked for him. Rob you will always be in my memory. Thank you for being there.

Although years and miles came between us, I will forever remember you. You were a good teacher and friend, and one of the best partners I ever worked with.
My prayers are with your family and friends. May they find peace and strength. May they also find comfort in all of the lives you have touched in your caring and compassionate way.
May God bless you and hold you forever close. I will remember you always.

My Prayers are with all the friends and family of all the officers who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
I lost my brother tragically, Det. David Taylor, Greensboro PD, On August 7, 2001. I was in NY for my fiancee's Mother's funeral the first of Sept. I was stranded there for 3 weeks due to this atrocity. As I watched the events on TV, I cried for all those who lost their lives. But was especially emotional about the Police Officers and the Firefighters and their families, as I had just recently suffered a tragic loss myself. As I walked through the streets in the days following the attack, I cried with pride as I saw the officers on duty on all the corners in the city. I knew how hard it was for them, knowing they had lost their friends. On the Sat. following the attack I was at St. Patrick's for mass. The last 2 people to go up and take communion were 2 NYPD officers, again I cried. I hope all of you are getting the support that my family and I got when we needed it, from the Deparment. I know the comforting words and even the funny stories the officers tell us about my brother helps. I know that our loved ones who are gone from here, had a higher calling and are happy and at peace in Heaven. Hopefully we can all feel that same peace one day! God bless All of you! And God bless America!

God I don't know what to say. I intend to post this message for each and everyone of you heroes so Officer, Detective, Agent, Whatever,... I thank you. You swore to serve and to protect. Well your days of protecting us are over. But you will forever be in service. Your eternal service... the inspiration you and your fellow bothers and sisters have re-enforced in my heart, will live so long as I do. Though I will not always carry your name in the front of my mind, not in my duties as a soldier or as the police officer I plan to become when I get home, I will still always carry with me the knowledge of your sacrifice... of your heroism, of your selflessness... I will carry a samll piece of you everywhere I go. Be it with an M-16 in my hands in a strange land, or a badge on my chest in my own back yard... long after the flags come down and the nation carries on... until the day I die... you will continue to serve... as my inspiration. God bless you. God bless your family. God bless your agency. God bless FDNY. God bless all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen, and marines. God bless New York City. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Thank you my brothers and sisters. I love you.
