🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET — SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 🇺🇸
Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the firefighters, police officers, first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans who answered the call when our nation needed them most.
Twenty-five years have passed, but we have not forgotten.
We remember where we were.
We remember the shock and heartbreak.
We remember the heroes running toward danger while others were running away.
And we remember the courage of the passengers and crew aboard United Airlines Flight 93.
After learning that other hijacked aircraft had been used to attack our nation, a group of passengers made the decision to fight back. Among them was Todd Beamer, whose final words before joining the effort to retake the aircraft became a lasting symbol of American courage:
🇺🇸 “Are you guys ready? Okay. Let’s roll.”
Those Americans knew what they were facing, yet they acted anyway. Flight 93 went down near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, before it could reach its intended target. Their courage undoubtedly saved other lives that morning.
We also remember how, in the days following September 11, Americans stood together. We weren’t divided by politics, backgrounds, or differences. We were simply Americans.
For those who have worn the uniform, September 11 carries another meaning. We remember the generations of American men and women who answered the call to serve in the years that followed—and especially those who never made it home.
Today, American Legion Post 45 asks our community to take a moment to remember the fallen, honor the heroes, and keep their families in our thoughts and prayers.
May we never forget their names.
May we never forget their courage.
May we never forget their sacrifice.
And may we never forget what it means to stand together as Americans.
🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸
God bless our fallen. God bless our veterans and first responders. And God bless the United States of America.
