Today, we pause to remember the innocent lives lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001. We honor the bravery of our first responders, including firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and countless other heroes who ran toward the danger to save others that day. May their courage and sacrifice always inspire us and serve as a reminder of the resilience of the American spirit.
