25 years ago, at 8:46 AM, our nation was forever changed.

Today, we pause to remember the 2,977 innocent lives taken on September 11, 2001, and the countless lives forever changed by that day.

We honor the heroes who ran toward danger as others fought to escape, making the ultimate sacrifice in service to others. We honor the K9s who searched tirelessly through the rubble, bringing hope during some of our country’s darkest hours.

We remember the victims and their families, the survivors, and all those who have carried the weight of that day in the years since, including the more than 9,000 people who have died from illnesses linked to their exposure at Ground Zero and other 9/11 sites.

Their names, their stories, their courage, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.
