On this day, we pause to remember the events of September 11, 2001, a day that profoundly shaped the United States and the world.
🔹 What Happened?
On the morning of September 11, four commercial airplanes were hijacked by terrorists. Two planes struck the World Trade Center towers in New York City, one hit the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and another—United Flight 93—crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers fought back.
🔹 Impact
Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives that day, including first responders who rushed to help.
It was the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history.
The attacks led to major changes in global security, international relations, and everyday travel safety.
🔹 Why We Remember
To honor the lives lost and the bravery shown.
To recognize the resilience of families, survivors, and communities.
To remind ourselves of the importance of unity, compassion, and peace.
Today, memorials stand at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA, ensuring that the stories and lessons of 9/11 are never forgotten.
🕯️ We remember. We honor. We reflect.
