I was a senior in high school on September 11, 2001.
I still remember watching the planes hit the Twin Towers. I remember the disbelief, the anger, the fear, and then watching an entire country come together in a way I had never seen before.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people went to work, boarded airplanes, reported for duty, or simply started their day—and never made it home. Firefighters, police officers, first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans showed the world what courage and sacrifice looked like.
Twenty-five years later, it sometimes feels like we have forgotten just how much that day changed this country—and how united we became afterward.
We should never forget the people we lost.
Never forget the families who still carry that loss.
Never forget the first responders who ran toward danger.
Never forget the men and women who answered the call in the years that followed.
And never forget what it means to be an American.
Today isn’t about politics. It’s about remembrance, gratitude, sacrifice, and honoring the country we love.
September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸
Never Forget.
