Twenty-five years have passed since September 11, 2001, but the weight of that day has never truly left us.
Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken far too soon, the families whose worlds changed forever, and the countless acts of courage that emerged in the face of unimaginable tragedy. We honor the first responders who ran toward danger, the ordinary people who became heroes, and everyone who answered the call to serve in the years that followed.
We also remember what happened in the days after. The way Americans stood together, cared for their neighbors, flew our flag with pride, and refused to let fear have the final word. For a moment, our differences seemed smaller than the values and humanity we shared.
As we mark the 25th anniversary, may we do more than remember where we were that morning. May we remember who we became afterward: united, compassionate, resilient, and determined to carry one another through the darkness.
May we never take our freedom for granted. May we continue to pray for the families who still carry this loss. And may we honor those we lost by choosing courage over fear, service over self, and unity over division.
Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. And we will never forget. 🇺🇸
