A quarter-century after the attacks of September 11, 2001, communities across the country are holding ceremonies to honor the lives lost and reflect on the lasting impact of that day. Families of victims, first responders, and survivors are coming together for vigils, memorial services, and moments of silence at sites including the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The events mark both a solemn tribute to the past and an opportunity to discuss how the nation has changed in the years since. For many, the anniversary serves as a reminder of resilience amid ongoing challenges in national security and unity.
