9/11 – As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of our unfathomable loss, we stop to remember, to recount the devastation, the heroism, those lost and saved, and the strength and resolve that has resulted from that horrific day.

On September 11, 2001, we lost 2,977 people and thousands were injured at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, and in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A massive rescue, relief, and recovery effort began in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Broadway Stages is honored to have played a part in the rescue effort by providing stage lights to assist with the relief efforts. Recovery operations lasted for nine months at Ground Zero, ending on May 30, 2002.

Today, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum located at the World Trade Center in New York City, “…stands as a beacon of healing and renewal – a physical embodiment of the compassion we showed to one another, the resolve we demonstrated to the world, how in the face of incomprehensible loss, we rose as one.” Likewise, the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA are dedicated to the people whose lives were lost. May our fortitude, strength, and resilience serve as a beacon for the pursuit of peace, liberty, justice, and freedom.

Learn how you can remember this day. The 911 Memorial & Museum has information about events planned to mark the passage of two decades since the day that changed our lives forever. Join us as we remember and reflect. God Bless America!
