The 13th annual 9/11 Memorial & Museum 5K Run/Walk took place in lower Manhattan, drawing about 4,000 participants despite strong winds. Many participants honored loved ones lost during the attacks, including NYPD officer Keith Ferrara, who died from 9/11-related lung cancer in 2019. Community members reflected on their memories of that tragic day, emphasizing its lasting impact. Educators are also highlighting the relevance of these events to the younger generation, aiming to remember and teach about the lessons from 9/11 as time progresses.

The world that I grew up in, that I started to become a young adult in, was gone overnight. The things I imagined getting to do changed in a split second.
It was so long ago, but it feels like it was yesterday.
He never met a stranger.
