Many people went to work on 9/11 thinking it was just another day. Some never came home that night. The following day was a sobering reminder to mourn our losses, hug our loved ones, and regroup as a nation. Now, 20 years later, we give honor to those we lost and continue to count our blessings as Americans bonded by infinite patriotism. Just a reminder that, no matter how difficult the odds, the strength of this country is and always will be too great to measure.

No one wants another 9/11, but let’s remember the brave men and women who answered the call on that day by living the spirit of 9/12 every day.
