September 11, 2001, began with ordinary routines—people heading to work, children going to school, flights scheduled as usual. Within hours, that ordinary morning was shattered by extraordinary horror.
The world watched as the Twin Towers collapsed, as the Pentagon burned, and as a passenger plane went down in a Pennsylvania field. In those moments, thousands of innocent lives were silenced, and humanity realized the terrifying reach of hate.
The victims of 9/11 were not just Americans; they came from every corner of the globe. They remind us that terrorism does not recognize borders—it strikes at humanity itself.
Today, as we remember them, let us honor their memory by standing against intolerance and violence in all forms. The silence of that day calls us to raise our voices for peace.
