Patriots Day and Reflecting On 9/11
“…we will share the history and lessons learned with a new generation, teach them about the ongoing repercussions of the 9/11 attacks, and inspire the world with memories of our fortitude, strength, and resilience.”
– 911 Memorial & Museum 20 Years Later
During the week of the 23rd Anniversary of 9/11, and on Patriot’s Day itself, our team is very active. Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services is recommitting ourselves and our work building capacity with organizations, individuals, systems, and movements to make the lives of veterans and their families better.
This year in New York City, the Center will serve as a resource hub of influence, ideas, and actions helping 23 organizations build capacity to better integrate veterans and their families.
Across the nation, our team will leverage technology to provide strategic support to communities and movements that are improving the lives of veterans and their families.
In the Midwest and the eastern seaboard, we will be bringing together people, resources and expertise to build capacity with our partners.
Lastly, as a recognized and visible network and voice for military and veteran services we are participating in events in 10 States and the District of Columbia remembering the victims of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
By participating in local and national events and ceremonies, we recognize, remember, honor, and mourn those who died, and their families affected by the heinous actions of 9/11. The heinous actions that set off the Global War on Terrorism that is still being fought today.
As the American people forget about the post 9/11 wars, we cannot forget about those who fought in those wars. We hope you have the chance to reflect and remember on the anniversary of 9/11.
