NYPD’s 9/11 Web tribute

New York’s Finest are remembering their fallen comrades on Twitter and Facebook.

The NYPD is honoring cops who were killed on 9/11 with a social-media campaign that details their sacrifice.

Before their names are officially read at tomorrow’s 11th anniversary ceremony, the department will post messages from its official Twitter account, @NYPDnews, once an hour for each NYPD victim, with links to individual memorial Facebook pages.

There, readers can learn about the men and women killed in the line of duty when terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the Twin Towers.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Dawn Kloepfer, whose husband, Ronald, was a member of the NYPD’s elite Emergency Service Unit. Kloepfer’s name was tweeted yesterday at 6 a.m.

“I think that most people nowadays go online to get information,” Dawn Kloepfer said. “Especially for younger people. Anyone under the age of 20 barely remembers what happened. Keep it alive. I think it’s progressive.”

Each tweet will include a searchable hashtag that says “#neverforget.”

The social-media memorial is the first one done by the department.

Paul Browne, an NYPD spokesman, said department officials came up with the idea after launching Facebook and Twitter accounts this year.
