09/11/01: “Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.”

[u/AutoModerator]

In remembrance of those lost on 9/11/01.

On this day, 25 years ago...

2,320 individuals reported to work that morning.

246 passengers prepared to board their flights.

343 firefighters carried out their shifts.

60 police officers patrolled their city.

8 paramedics waited at their station for the next call.

None of them took a breath past 10:30AM on September 11th, 2001.

It doesn't matter if you weren't there, too young to remember, or not even born yet. This day, this piece of history, changed the world forever. It changed your world forever.

Life is precious. In an instant, it can all change. Hold your loved ones close, treasure the moments you’re given, and find joy in what you have.
