There are certain moments in history that stay with us forever. Moments where, years later, we can still remember where we were, who we were with, and what we were doing when we first heard the news. For many of us, September 11, 2001, is that moment.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost that day and the families whose lives were forever changed. We remember the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and other first responders who gave their lives, as well as those who later lost their lives from illnesses and complications connected to the attacks. We remember the pilots, flight attendants, and courageous passengers who fought back. We remember the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the years that followed, and the search and rescue dogs who worked alongside their handlers in the aftermath.
But we also remember what came from the tragedy: compassion, courage, service, and an extraordinary sense of unity. We were reminded that we are resilient. That in the face of unimaginable loss, people will step forward to help.
We see that same spirit every day in the people who serve our communities. We thank our firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and public works crews who are always ready to respond, protect, and help. And we thank the ordinary bystanders who step forward to help a stranger when no one else is around.
The heroism we witnessed on September 11 continues to inspire heroism in others.
Twenty-five years later, #WeHaveNotForgotten

September 11, 2001. Our nation was forever changed.
On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the Morton Grove Police Department remembers the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines Flight 93.
We remember the families who lost loved ones. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger while others ran from it. We remember the extraordinary courage, selflessness, and sacrifice displayed that day.
Twenty-five years have passed, but the memory of September 11 remains etched in our nation's history and in the hearts of those who lived through it.
On Patriot Day, we pause to remember those we lost, honor those who served, and recognize the enduring strength of the American spirit.
