On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed an event that forever changed the course of history. The horrendous attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the crash of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania resulted in the loss of nearly 3,000 lives. We all remember where we were in those hours.
This day is etched in our collective memory as a moment of profound sorrow and resilience. Amidst the devastation, countless acts of heroism emerged. First responders, firefighters, police officers, search and rescue animals and ordinary citizens displayed extraordinary courage, risking their lives to save others.
The impact of 9/11 extended far beyond the United States. It was a day that united people across the globe in grief and solidarity. Nations came together to condemn terrorism and support one another in the face of adversity.
Personally, it is heartbreaking to witness what is happening in our country now and the intense division politics and social media has done to our lives. Let's just set aside all the politics today and remember this day with the heart of who we were in 2001.
