This Operation Legacy project honors the life and legacy of  Officer Christopher C. Amoroso, PAPD, Badge #2002. On September 11, 2001, Chris, age 29, was assigned to the Tactical Response Bureau at the World Trade Center.   After multiple turns of escorting people out of the towers, he collected oxygen packs and hard hats and headed into the tower again.  South Tower collapsed, and Chris was killed. Chris spent his final moments leading with his strengths of bravery & leadership. He chose others' safety above all else and exemplified “If Not Me, Then Who…” We serve in honor of Chris, all of those who died that day, and all of the men and women who have served or are currently serving this country both domestically and abroad.
