On this day, we pause in solemn remembrance of the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We honor the innocent victims, the bravery of first responders, and the strength of the families and communities forever changed by that day.
As a nation, we will never forget the tragedy, the heroism, and the unity that emerged in its aftermath. May this day serve as a reminder of our shared resilience and commitment to protecting the freedoms we hold dear.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
