The resolution designates September 11th of each year as "Heroes Day" in New Jersey to honor the contributions and sacrifices of members of the Armed Forces, police officers, firefighters, and emergency services personnel. This recognition stems from the tragic events of September 11, 2001, which resulted in significant loss of life and highlighted the bravery of those who serve to protect the public. The resolution acknowledges the ongoing risks and challenges faced by these individuals, who often work under dangerous conditions and are separated from their families to ensure the safety of others.

To formalize this designation, the Governor of New Jersey is tasked with issuing an annual proclamation to commemorate "Heroes Day," encouraging citizens to engage in appropriate activities and programs to celebrate the heroism and dedication of these service members. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing and appreciating the sacrifices made by these individuals in the wake of the September 11 attacks and their continued commitment to the security and well-being of the state.
