25 years ago today, our nation changed forever.
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were taken. Families lost mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, friends and coworkers. First responders ran toward unimaginable danger while others were trying desperately to escape it.
Today, we remember every life that was lost. We remember the firefighters, police officers, paramedics and ordinary Americans who showed extraordinary courage. We remember the families who have carried that loss for 25 years.
And we remember what happened afterward, too. In one of our country’s darkest moments, Americans came together. We helped strangers. We stood beside our neighbors. We flew our flag. We remembered that, despite our differences, we are Americans first.
That is worth remembering just as much.
May we never forget September 11, 2001. May we never forget those we lost. And may we never forget what it looked like when our country stood together. 🇺🇸
