Remembering 9/11 24 Years Later
On September 11th, we take time to remember and honor those who were affected by the attacks in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. We will never forget the events that occurred and changed the world in ways that can never be undone.
On this day, we remember the 3,000 lives that were lost, and we pay our respects to the families that were impacted. May we also all honor the firefighters, police officers, medical workers, and countless citizens who rushed in with extraordinary bravery to help those in need. On that day, we saw strangers helping strangers, and communities coming together. We saw the strength and courage, that we as American citizens have when we become united in the face of an unimaginable challenge.
This day is not only about looking back, but also about how we choose to move forward. Patriots Day reminds us to move forward with resilience and compassion. As we remember and grieve those who were taken from us, may we also remember the heroism by many individuals that occurred that day.
