About Post 911 Foundation

The Post 911 Foundation is a 501(c)3 Not For Profit Organization uniting firefighters, police officers, and military veterans We do three things: 1. Help “first responders” overcome personal obstacles one individual at a time; 2. Create programs to help groups of everyday heroes – those who take great risks to protect our homes and families – to help them succeed in their jobs or promote their issues 3. Orchestrate a national campaign reminding Americans that at critical times in our history we set aside differences and rallied around our flag. The Post 911 Foundation originated in 2009 to address financial, health, and military-civilian reintegration issues resulting from the 911 experiences of many first responders and combat veterans. Rich Miller, NYPD veteran and first responder following the attack on the World Trade Center, and Master Sergeant Scott Neil, US Army Special Forces veteran and one of the first troops deployed to Afghanistan, are the foundation co-founders. They met socially and over time found themselves calling each other more and more frequently about issues among their colleagues that can best be described as “aftershocks” of the 911 attacks. Over time Rich and Scott discovered that problems such as debilitating illness from massive smoke inhalation, difficulty helping those unbalanced by combat experiences, and tactics used by police confronting armed combat veterans were not being dealt with effectively. They decided to work together to address those shortfalls.
