 It's been 20 years since our nation and the building where we work was attacked on September the 11th of 2001. For so many of us, our lives are now very different. And for a new generation born since then, 9-Eleven can feel far away. The Pentagon is a living memorial to the 125 people who tragically lost their lives here on 9-Eleven. But as we look toward the 20th commemoration, we also look back on the lives of those who were here on that day. Many of us who survived the attack still work in the building, still proudly serving our country two decades later. Our stories are powerful, stories of courage, of loss, of resilience. It's especially important to hear them now. We tell our stories to remember what it was like that day. To remember those we lost, but also to teach younger Americans about the sort of nation we are, about the heroes who defend us, and the families who make that possible. 20 years later, we tell the stories of our September 11th.
