OUR TIME's blog

As young Americans march arm in arm toward Ground Zero in New York City, gather outside the White House, and congregate in cities around the country, we are reminded that this is the war of our generation.

We all recall where we were on the morning of September 11th, 2001. Nearly ten years later, we honor the resilience, devotion and sacrifice of thousands of Americans, many of them young, who have made this day possible. Today we express our deep gratitude to those who protect us and remember the thousands of individuals who have lost their lives to terrorism. As we reflect today, we send our thoughts and prayers to the men and women who are still in harm’s way.

Let us seize this moment and stand shoulder to shoulder with our peers who join us in the streets. Together, let us honor the thousands of young men and women who serve our country. Help thank our friends in uniform, support our young veterans, and pay tribute to those who have given their lives at the links below.

Thank you,

Matthew Segal, OUR TIME
