It’s hard to believe that much time has passed since a day so many of us can still remember so clearly.
Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families who never stopped missing them, and the first responders who ran toward danger when others were running away.
Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We always will.
