Friday, September 11, 2026 — How September 11, 2001 continues to reverberate a quarter century later

For those who witnessed the attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. the terrorist attacks remain a vivid memory 25 years later. It’s even burned into the minds of those who watched the tragedy unfold on television. At the same time, up to 30 percent of Americans were born after the historic event and have no first-hand knowledge. We’ll remember 9/11 though the eyes of those who were close enough to see it, or were among those who put their lives on the line to help clean up the damage to help the nation heal.
