Today, as you recall exactly where you were when you first heard the news, and how you felt the ensuing fear, confusion and pain that gripped hundreds of millions of Americans, don't forget the ways we came together in the aftermath. - As we remember the lives lost 22 years ago, and the lives lost and forever changed in the subsequent war on terror, we reflect on the shared values that galvanized our nation in the face of tragedy. - In the fractious social landscape of 2023, we can easily forget that what binds us is far greater than our differences. Today, consider the American ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and never forget the sacrifices that preserve them.
