23 years ago today, our country was forever changed by unspeakable tragedy. And yet, at a time when we could have let our fear and suffering divide us, Americans joined together in unity. Bonded by our common humanity, we set aside our differences and gave to one another, comforted one another, unconditionally supported one another. The mission of 9/11 Day is to honor those we lost by annually rekindling that moment of togetherness, when we felt more alike than different. On this 9/11 Day, let's never forget what weāre capable of doing together.

In the bottom of this photo, you can see Ladder 118 crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge on their way to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. This is their last known photo. Every single firefighter on that truck perished just a few minutes later. We vowed to never forget. #SupportYourFirstResponders
