I was due to carry out a full audit of the Aviation Security at JFK with Tony Enfante and the visit was cut short by the terrorist incident. This man was a true professional and gave his life doing what he loved doing, making aviation safer for us all.

Anthony Infante was my cousin’s husband. I never had a chance to meet him but I am so incredibly proud to say that he was family and our super hero.

I cannot say enough or offer enough tears or emotions for the numerous, numerous amazing men and women who gave so selflessly and heroically that day and for still many, the numerous days that followed over the numerous years to come. On this 19th anniversary of one of the deadliest days for American law enforcement I'd like to say to you all thank you, God Bless you and rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

Tony, I finally broke down and went to the museum. Have avoided the whole area for most of the last 18 years. Still can't believe it happened. Miss you!

Inspector, you gave everything. Myself, your community, and our nation will forever be grateful for your heroic actions that barbaric day. With twenty-nine years of service to the Port Authority Police, many who are not lawmen wonder why you risked your life that day when you did not have to, and were not required to. However, myself and all former, current, and future lawmen know exactly what inside your soul drove you to respond and do everything possible to rescue others that day. There is no higher calling. There is no higher selfless act. You are, and will always be, an inspiration to all that learn of your decades of dedication to the citizens you served, and especially your actions of the day God brought you into his kingdom. I wish I had had the honor of having crossed paths with you, sir. God willing, it will happen in the future. I think that you'd like to know that on the back windshield of my assigned patrol car is a sticker that reads, "Remember 9-11-01". God bless you, your fellow officers and firefighters, and all of the innocent citizens that lost their lives on that day.

I knew Anthony through our working relationship. I was the Chief of Police for the Dallas Ft. Worth Airport Police Department from 1976 until I retired in 2007. On a number of occasions I dealt with Inspector Infante on Airport Security issues both in person and by phone. I considered him my friend. I recall how upset I felt about his death... and the tragic death of all the other NYNJ Port Authority Staff and Officers. For some unknown reason... this year (2016) has brought back all those memories. Rest in peace my friend.

Anthony was my next door neighbor when he lived at home in Irvington NJ with his parents. He had a closet he converted into a Ham radio room.We played "running bases" in his yard. We went swimming in my parents pool. I remember when he became a Newark policeman. God Bless him & all the lost.

Today I climbed 110 stairs in Thomasville, GA to equal the 110 floors rescuers climbed at the World Trade Center. I did this in memory of all our fallen and their families, but especially in honor of Inspector Anthony Infante. I will never forget. Thank you to Anthony for his faithful service to our country. God bless his family, and God bless the USA.

Above the late night watch commander's desk at NE patrol in Dallas is a collaged print of the cops that died on 9-11. The LT picked it up in NY a few years ago and learned something about each cop who died that day. When he came across Insp Infante's picture I was able to tell him a few stories that were relayed to me by my father who is friends with one of "Tony's" relatives. One took place outside Yankee stadium and the other here in Dallas. Tony's relative told my dad these tales due to me being a cop here. From all I've heard Insp Infante was a true COP and not just another policeman. We'll meet someday sir, tell those I knew here that are now there hello.

Lord, he was yours to give,
and yours to call home.
Please stand by his brothers,
so they're not all alone.
Dry the tears of his family,
so they clearly can see,
that he gave us his all,
so all could have peace.

Blessed are they,
the children of God,
with heavy hearts,
and honor they trod,
to pay their respects,
to give their salute,
and to ask for your mercy
on HEROES IN BLUE.
Amen.

Rest in peace Sir,
Wife of a retired ConRail Detective

To the wife, daughter and son of Inspector Anthony Infante, I offer my belated and most sincere condolences for the loss of your husband and father.

To all those whose lives he touched...you know that you were fortunate to have known him and I am sorry for your loss too.

Everyone knows that those who lost their lives that tragic day...in the line of duty...while trying to rescue others...are heroes...be proud of how your loved one lived his life selflessly. Keep his memory alive for future generations so they will know that they are the lineage of an admirable and decent human being...he is their legacy.

May God's perpetual light shine upon the soul of Inspector Anthony Infante and may he rest in His eternal peace for having made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting and serving the people of New York.

God's blessings on his family and know that he is watching over you from a far better place than he was called from.

With my deepest sympathy.

Dear Tony:
Five years have come and gone since that horrible day. In all that time, and hopefully never again, have so many police officers been called upon to make such a sacrifice as you and all the others did.
But you are not forgotten, brother. Oh no, NEVER. We, the surviving police officers, and our fellow Americans we are sworn to protect, won't allow it. If ever there was a profession so honorable, so respected, and so demanding of self sacrifice, it is the profession of police officer. And you fit the profession so perfectly. You made the ultimate sacrifice while trying to protect those who could not protect themselves. And as a result, you, Tony are RESPECTED, HONORED, and your sacrifice DEMANDS that you are remembered...always.
You were there to answer the cry of the wolf at the door, and you answered it. Now rest in peace my brother, we have the watch. And every time the cry of the wolf threatens the door, we will answer it, in your memory, and that of all police officers everywhere who have made the ultimate sacrifice. May God grant your family peace in their hearts, hold you close to Him, and remind Americans everywhere, that our freedom comes at a very high cost. Amen
