Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the first responders, service members, and everyday citizens who showed extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken that day, the families forever changed, and all those who have suffered from illnesses related to their service and recovery efforts.

May we continue to honor their memory through unity, compassion, and service to one another.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.
