Twenty-five years have passed since our nation was attacked, forever changing our country and the course of our military.

We lost friends, family, fellow citizens and heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, running toward danger and serving others without hesitation.

September 11 reminds us why our mission matters. We honor those we lost not only by remembering their sacrifice, but by continuing the mission they inspired us to carry forward with vigilance, readiness and purpose.

Take a moment to reflect on what September 11 means to us, our nation and the 442d Fighter Wing.
