It’s been 20 years since terrorists used airplanes to attack the United States—but the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, are far from forgotten.
It was a terrifying day when four planes were hijacked on September 11, 2001. The hijackers flew three planes into iconic buildings: the Pentagon in Washington DC and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. The fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after the plane passengers fought the hijackers. Nobody is certain where it was supposed to crash, but some people believe it was headed for the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, or one of several nuclear power plants along the eastern seaboard.
The impact of this attack was devastating. Around 3,000 lives were lost between plane passengers, those in the buildings that were struck, and front-line workers trying to save people. It was the biggest act of terrorism ever in the United States.
Many organizations took a moment to remember the heroes, victims, and survivors of the terrorist attacks that claimed many lives. Around the country, people pause to remember those who lost their lives on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, vowing to “never forget.” On the upcoming 20th anniversary of the September 11 tragedy, remember and reflect on these powerful 9/11 quotes.
- “Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.” — President Obama in a 2011 radio address
- “If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” —Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl, in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in 2002
- “It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us.” — Senator John Kerry
We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There’s nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.
It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us. So, to celebrate the month of September and remembering those we lost. I have a special announcement to make in honoring the heroes of that fateful day, but for a very special reason.
