25 years later, we remember.

On September 11, 2001, our nation experienced a tragedy that changed our country and left an impact that continues to be felt 25 years later.

Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives that day. They were parents, children, spouses, siblings, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Each had a story, a family, and a future that was taken from them far too soon.

We remember the victims and the families who continue to carry their loss. We remember the countless acts of courage, compassion, and kindness that emerged in the aftermath. And we remember how, in the face of tragedy, Americans came together to support one another and demonstrate the strength of our communities.

Twenty-five years later, we pause to reflect on that day and honor the lives forever changed by it.

We remember their lives. We honor their memory. We will never forget.

Mayor Jim Schwantz issued a proclamation recognizing the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. On this solemn anniversary, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, military members, and countless individuals who came together in the days that followed.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
