[Community-Service] We Will Never Forget

[Maggie Stringer]

“Remembering September 11th’s horror and its pain can somehow manage to
feel like both yesterday and a long time ago all at once.”



Remembering wears many coats. It arrives in ground zero ceremonies and
moments of silence and prayers upon prayers, both public and private. It
shows itself in folk memorials like those erected at the sides of lonely
roads to mark the sites of traffic deaths. It is embedded in the names of
places, like the road that leads to the Flight 93 memorial — the Lincoln
Highway. It surfaces in the retrieval of “flashbulb memories” — those
where-were-you-when-this-happened moments that stick with us.



People in different parts of the country and world, under vastly different
circumstances, watched the same live camera angles on the same few feeds
and saw the same, now-indelible views of the destruction in the same way.
We experienced it apart, but together.



So, tonight we will come together, unite as one and remember as one. Our
keynote speaker, June Hunter, will share their heroin of story of survival
as she escaped from the crumbling towers on September 11th.

Zoom in at 8 o’clock eastern time
