Today, we take time to remember the events of September 11th, 2001, when ruthless terrorists attacked our nation, claiming thousands of American lives, and how our country was able to come together in the aftermath for healing.

9/11 shook our nation, but it also brought out the "hero" in every American. First responders in New York City rushed to save lives, many losing their own in the wreckage, and people from all walks of life gave whatever they could to offer relief to the survivors.

It was a time when America was hurting, but we all knew we were in this fight together. We will never forget what happened on 9/11, nor will we forget what America is capable of if we all stand united.
