Today, September 11, we pause to remember one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. Twenty-four years ago, America was attacked not for what we had done, but for who we are — a nation defined by freedom, resilience and hope. We honor the thousands of innocent lives taken, the first responders who ran into danger, and the families who carry an unending burden of loss. Their sacrifice and strength remain etched in our national memory.
This year, our reflection carries an added weight. Young Americans are grieving the loss of Charlie Kirk- a bold, intelligent, conservative voice who inspired countless patriots to stand firm in their convictions. His assassination is a reminder that the fight for our values is carried by each generation, and his legacy calls us to do more than mourn: it calls us to act.
On this solemn day, we grieve, but we also reaffirm. America must remain proud of what it stands for. Our enemies once sought to break our spirit, and today cynicism and division test it still. Yet our resolve must remain strong. We honor the heroes of 9/11 and the leaders of our own time not only by remembering but by carrying forward their courage, their clarity and their unwavering belief in the promise of this nation.
