Twenty-five years later, we remember.

On Patriot Day, we honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and remember the courage of the first responders, health care workers, military members and everyday Americans who stepped forward to help.

We remember the families who lost loved ones, those who continue to carry the effects of that day, and the spirit of compassion and unity that brought our nation together.

Today, we pause to remember, honor and never forget.

• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
