“No day shall erase you from the memory of time.” — Virgil (70 BC–19 BC)

Patriot Day and the National Day of Service and Remembrance honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year, Americans dedicate this day to remembering those who died and the first responders who risked their own lives to save others. This year marks the 22nd anniversary of the tragedy.

We hope you will join AIP Marketing Alliance in honoring those who were injured or killed on that fateful day. You could attend a 9/11 service of remembrance in your local area, volunteer for acts of service in your community, or perhaps you could observe moments of silence to represent when commercial aircraft crashed into the north and south towers of the World Trade Center, and when aircraft crashed into the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
