Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001 and the families and loved ones who were forever changed.

We remember the first responders, firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, and everyday people who stepped forward to help others.

We remember the acts of courage, kindness, and compassion that brought people together in the days that followed.

Today, we simply take a moment to remember.

We remember those who were lost. We honor those who helped. We will never forget.
