Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

We pause to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, honor the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger, and recognize the sacrifices made by those who answered the call to serve in the days and years that followed.

On this solemn anniversary, the Lorain County Prosecutor's Office joins our community and our nation in reflecting on the resilience, unity, and strength that emerged from one of the most tragic days in American history.

We will never forget the victims, the heroes, and the lessons of September 11.
