Today marks 23 years since the tragic events that reshaped America and the world. On September 11, 2001, the lives of thousands were abruptly and irrevocably altered. The Twin Towers in New York City, symbols of economic strength, were reduced to rubble, while the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., a symbol of national defense, was violently struck. In Shanksville, Pennsylvania, courageous passengers on Flight 93 thwarted another catastrophic attack, giving their lives to protect countless others. As we pause to remember, we honor the memories of those who were lost, the heroism of first responders, and the resilience of a nation united in the face of unprecedented adversity. We will never forget the profound impact of that day, and the collective strength and solidarity that emerged from it.
