On September 11, 2023, the United States solemnly observed the 22nd anniversary of the tragic events that unfolded on a clear, blue Tuesday morning in 2001. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the heroic actions of passengers on United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania forever changed the nation and the world.
Throughout the country, people gathered in remembrance ceremonies, memorial services, and virtual events to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost in the attacks. Families of the victims, survivors, and first responders joined together to pay their respects and reflect on the impact of that day.
