Americans pause on Friday, September 11, 2026, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives in New York City, at the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Communities across the nation will remember those who died, honor the bravery of first responders and recognize the countless individuals whose lives were forever changed. The anniversary also serves as a reminder of the unity and compassion shown in the days following the attacks.

Twenty-five years later, the nation continues to honor their memory with a solemn promise: Never forget.
