On this solemn day, we remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Today, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the enduring spirit of our nation. May the memory of 9/11 inspire us to stand together, overcome challenges, and continue building a brighter future for all. 🇺🇸
The nation changed forever on September 11, 2001. Many Americans remember a country before and a country after, and for many young Americans, only a country after. For months following September 11, people came together to grieve family, friends, and strangers. More than 20 years later, we still do. Sometimes called “Patriots Day” or “Day of Remembrance”, September 11 has become an annual day for many Americans to remember, reflect, honor, and mourn.
Join us for a day of remembrance by visiting a national park or following the September 11 Observation at Flight 93 National Memorial. Or participate in the national 9/11 Day of Service by volunteering at national parks throughout the country. Learn more at: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/npscelebrates/september-11.htm
