The 9/11 Legacy Foundation is turning ‘Never Forget’ into the inspiring call to action: "We
Remember"

10/16/2026

Mike Kirk MacIntosh was a chaplain who dedicated himself to caring for first responders and the families who lost loved ones on September 11th.

He showed up for people in their hardest moments. He offered comfort when it was needed most and strength when others had none left to give.

Mike carried the weight of others so they did not have to carry it alone.

Some of the most powerful moments of 9/11 happened between strangers, in seconds, with no time to think. Jennieann Maffeo and Ron Clifford’s story was one of those moments.

More than 100 million Americans were too young to remember September 11th or weren’t yet born. They deserve to know that when everything fell apart, people still chose to show up for each other.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon was supposed to be in the Cantor Fitzgerald offices on the morning of September 11th. A phone call two days earlier changed her plans — and spared her life.

In this video, she shares that story, along with what she witnessed in the days that followed: first responders opening their arms to grieving families, offering comfort with no thought for themselves.

"It was the best of humankind after such a horrible tragedy,” she says.

25 years later, we're working to make sure that humanity — and that history — reaches the next generation. Explore the Foundation's curriculum and help carry their legacy forward: https://the911legacy.org/curriculum/lessons/?module=1a

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon reminds us that for children and many adults, September 11th is not a lived memory, and that the heroism of our first responders and the loss felt by so many families must continue to be taught.

In her words, it is "so incredibly important” to educate the younger generation about that tragic day.
The 9/11 Legacy Foundation offers a free curriculum that puts the facts in the hands of educators, families, and organizations.

How can one person make a difference?

It's a question worth asking for a lifetime. In the aftermath of 9/11, millions of people answered it not because they were asked to be heroes, but because they saw a need and chose to act.

That's what being an everyday change maker looks like.

In the months after September 11, country music became one way our nation processed grief, resolve, and unity.

From Alan Jackson's quiet questions to Toby Keith's defiant anthems, these songs captured a country searching for words when there were none.

In a remote Maasai village in Kenya, they had never even heard of the Twin Towers — yet they gave America everything they had anyway.

This is the story of Kimeli Naiyomah, a Stanford senior who watched the towers fall on September 11th. Eight months later, he carried that story back to his village, and an elder asked a simple question: "What can we do for these poor people?"

What followed was 14 cows — sacred to the Maasai people — gifted to a nation they'd never set foot in, as a symbol of grief, compassion, and friendship.

Remembrance is not passive.
It moves through stages, from historical awareness, to active participation, to a sense of ownership, to something that becomes part of everyday civic life.

Did you know?

Some of the most powerful stories from September 11th are ones of unity.

Nearly 500,000 people were evacuated from Lower Manhattan by boat, the largest maritime evacuation in history.

A damaged tree pulled from the rubble became a living symbol of recovery, now known as the Survivor Tree.
