Today we stop and remember the events of 25 years ago that shook us to the core.

This powerful video reflects on the day, 25 years ago, that tragedy shook our nation. Tuesday, September 11, 2001 held unimaginable loss and suffering, but we stood together with courage and sacrifice. But even through that darkness, we saw, once again, that the darkness has not overcome the light!
