Today, and every day, our thoughts are with the loved ones of all 9/11 victims.
We especially honor our own special agents whose heroic work following the attack on our nation left them battling health conditions leading to their untimely passing.
Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Twenty-four years later, DHS honors the courage and bravery of the 9/11 first responders, the resilience of the survivors, and the steadfast support of the everyday Americans who continue to inspire our work.
DHS was born from this tragedy, and under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, DHS returns to its foundational purpose: safeguarding our homeland.
“Protecting our communities from dangerous criminals like Philip Shearer is a top ATF priority. Working with Homeland Security Investigations and the United States Attorney’s Office, we are making our communities safer one case at a time.”
