Patriot Day

Honoring lives lost, heroes remembered, and unity forged in the face of tragedy.

A Day of Remembrance

September 11, 2001, forever changed the United States. On that morning, nearly 3,000 lives were lost in coordinated terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. What followed was grief, resilience, and an enduring call to remember.

Patriot Day, observed every September 11 since 2002, is not just about looking back—it’s about honoring the fallen, saluting the bravery of first responders, and reflecting on the unity that rose from the ashes. In 2025, the memory remains fresh in America’s conscience, reminding us of sacrifice, resilience, and the responsibility to stand together in the face of division and challenge.
