For months following September 11, 2001, people came together to grieve family, friends and strangers lost in the terrorist attacks in New York and Pennsylvania. More than 20 years later, we still do. Sometimes called “Patriots Day” or “Day of Remembrance”, September 11 has become an annual day for many Americans to remember, reflect, honor, and mourn.
