This weekend, our nation will pause to reflect and mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
As part of their campaign to commemorate that tragic day and those who lost their lives, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York has launched a social media campaign called "Remember the Sky."
According to Chief Advancement Officer for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum Josh Cherwin, the "Remember the Sky" campaign, will help to expose a new generation to the lessons learned during and following 9/11.
Anyone can participate in this effort by posting a picture of the sky on Instagram or other social media platforms on this Saturday, Sept. 11 with the hashtag, #NeverForget911.
The campaign aims to start a conversation and educate the generations of young people who did not live through that day about ways in which our world changed forever following the attacks and lessons learned.
"For those who lived through 9/11, I think one of the most common memories is of the crystal clear blue sky that existed in New York and across our country that day, and how it was ultimately darkened by the tragic events that unfolded," Cherwin said.
Cherwin also spoke on the aftermath of 9/11 and how it is important to remember how everyone came together and how "hope, resilience, and unity lifted us up as a nation."
