On September 11 we remember the sacrifices of U.S. citizens and service members on the day that is forever burned into our hearts and minds.

Each year on 9/11, officially designated Patriot Day, we stand together again and proclaim, “never forget.” We remember 9/11 as a day of heroes. Countless men and women at both the Pentagon and World Trade Center, including local fire and police forces, military members and civilian Defense Department employees, rushed toward the smoke and fire, ignoring their own safety in an attempt to rescue others.  Today marks 22 years since one of the worst attacks since Pearl Harbor.
