In the days that followed 9/11, our country didn't just grieve; it rose. United in Patriotism and Grief.

There was an unspoken, breathtaking unity. A collective, roaring refusal to be broken.

We haven’t forgotten the fallen. We haven’t forgotten the braver-than-brave who ran toward the smoke while the rest of the world watched in stunned silence. We remember our friends and countrymen who worked the toxic pile to try to save lives. We remember them all

This September, we ask that each of us takes a quiet pause. . . A moment to remember what we are capable of when we stand as one.

Today, it seems we live in a nation divided. Remember those days of unity so that all those who perished did not do so in vain.
