25 years ago today, our world changed forever.

On 9/11, countless acts of courage and sacrifice unfolded at the WTC, Pentagon, Flight 93. Today, we solemnly remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives and the thousands of first responders who ran toward danger

[MWAA Professional Firefighters - L3217 @Local3217]

Today, we remember the fallen.
We honor the survivors.
We remember the families who were forever changed.
And we honor every first responder who answered the call that day and those who continue to carry the physical and emotional scars.

[Virginia Professional Fire Fighters @TheVaPFF]
