Most of us can remember exactly where we were on the morning of September 11, 2001.
What we were doing. Who we were with. The first call or news report. That horrible feeling when we realized this was something none of us had ever seen before.
At 8:46 a.m., the first plane struck the World Trade Center, and the world as we knew it changed.
25 years later, we remember all those lost in New York City, at the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We remember their families, the first responders, firefighters, police officers and everyday people who stepped up to help when everything felt impossible.
It was one of those days that stays with you forever.
🇺🇸❤️ We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
