Pregame Notes

The Jets will hold a pregame tribute during their home opener to remember the victims of 9/11 on the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks. Members of Tuesday’s Children, the organization that supports youth, families and communities impacted by terrorism and traumatic loss, will participate in the tribute. In addition to forming the tunnel for player introductions, 200 members of Tuesday’s Children and 20 members of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation will hold a full-field American Flag during the National Anthem sung by Tony and Grammy-Award winning Broadway actress Heather Headley. Headley has starred in musicals such as “The Lion King,” “Aida” and currently “The Color Purple.” In the first Jets home game following September 11th, 2001, Headley performed “God Bless America” at Meadowlands Stadium. The Tuesday’s Children Chorus will accompany Headley during the National Anthem. PAPD Color Guard will be on field and players and coaches will wear NYPD, PAPD, and FDNY hats with a 9/11 memorial logo in remembrance, as well as helmet stickers for players and lapel pins for coaches. Additionally, representatives from FDNY, NYPD, PAPD and the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation will be honorary captains along with members of the Jets 2001 team.

An NFL-wide video featuring President Barack Obama will be played and every fan will receive a 6” x 9” American flag. First Responder Hats and 9/11 Memorial t-shirts will be sold at Jets Shop, with all of the proceeds going to the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Additionally, the ceremony will feature an abbreviated video, produced by Jets 360, with members of the 2001 New York Jets team remembering 9/11. A link to the full-length video is available here.
