As the anniversary of one of the most heart-wrenching events in American history draws near, let us all take a moment to pause and pay respect to the memories of those who tragically lost their lives on September 11th, 2001.

It is crucial for each of us to keep in mind the heroism and selflessness of the first responders who put their own lives on the line to save others, as well as the innocent victims who were taken away from their loved, far too soon.

Although almost twenty years have elapsed since that treacherous day, its impact is still palpable today. It is crucial for us never to forget the sacrifices made on that momentous day and always work diligently towards a more peaceful and united future for everyone.

As we prepare to observe 9/11, let us find solace in cohering and joining hands as a country to reflect and honor those who have left us.
