The sheer shock was palpable; millions watched the horror unfold live on television as people struggled to grasp the gravity of what was happening. The devastation was unimaginable, with nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost that day. But beyond the horror, what stands out about 9/11 is the incredible resilience and unity that followed. In the face of destruction and loss, first responders, everyday citizens, and people around the world came together. Each year, as we observe the anniversary of 9/11, we not only remember the lives lost but also honor the courage, compassion, and resilience that emerged from the ashes. "We will never forget." This phrase resonates deeply, not just for Americans, but for anyone who witnessed that fateful day. It’s a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder that even in the face of terror, hope, and unity can prevail.
