Twenty-five years ago today, our nation changed forever.
For those of us who lived through September 11, there are moments from that day that remain remarkably vivid. Where we were. Who we were with. The images we saw. The people we called. The uncertainty about what would come next.
Today, we honor the memory of those who lost their lives, remember the families whose lives changed in an instant and honor the extraordinary courage of those who ran toward danger to help others.
On this 25th anniversary, we should remember not only what happened on September 11, 2001, but what followed: the service, the sacrifice, the empty seats at family tables, the homecomings and the millions of lives forever shaped by that day.
We remember. And we will never forget.
