Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the strength, compassion, and unity shown in the days that followed.
