๐บ๐ธ WE WILL NEVER FORGET. ๐บ๐ธ
September 11, 2001 changed America forever.
Today, we remember the lives that were taken, the families forever changed, and the incredible heroes who ran toward danger when every instinct told them to run away.
We remember the firefighters climbing stairs while others were coming down.
The police officers, paramedics, military members, dispatchers, medical personnel, and ordinary Americans who stepped forward to help.
We remember the passengers who fought back.
We remember the fallen. We remember the heroes.
But 25 years later, I hope we also remember something we desperately need today:
๐บ๐ธ WHO WE WERE AFTER 9/11.
In the face of unimaginable evil, America didnโt respond by turning against one another.
We came together.
Neighbors checked on neighbors.
Strangers helped strangers.
Churches filled with people praying.
American flags hung from homes, businesses, trucks, and overpasses.
We hugged people tighter. We said thank you. We told people we loved them.
For a little while, being kind mattered more than being right.
Choose kindness when cruelty is easier.
Stand beside your neighbor.
Pray for one another.
Protect what is good.
Speak truth.
And when evil tries to enter through hatred, division, fear, or destructionโstand together and block its path.
You can stand for what you believe while remembering that the person standing across from you is still your neighbor.
So today, remember the towers.
Remember the Pentagon.
Remember Flight 93.
Remember every innocent life lost and every hero who answered the call.
But alsoโฆ
Remember the flags.
Remember the prayers.
Remember the kindness.
Remember the courage.
Remember the unity.
๐บ๐ธ Remember who we were.
And perhaps the greatest tribute we can give those we lost is to become a little more like that country again.
Be kind. Stand for good. Reject hatred. Block evil. Love your neighbor. Pray for our country.
๐๐ผ God bless the fallen. God bless their families. God bless our heroes. And God bless America. ๐บ๐ธ
