“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

We also encourage everyone to get involved by way of volunteering your time to serve others today, September 11, National Day of Service and Remembrance. CSD it’s time to serve! Let’s join forces with AmeriCorps today! Step forward to serve in a remarkable spirit of unity, honor, and compassion. Remember, even a small act of service is a giant act of patriotism.
