23rd Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 Attacks

On September 11, 2001, terrorists claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people and injured more than 6,000 others in the most devastating attack on American soil in our nation’s history.  Today, on Patriot Day 2024, we honor their memories and stand in solidarity with the families and friends of those who perished in New York City, Arlington, Virginia and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We pay tribute to the courageous first responders who risked and sacrificed their lives to rescue others.

We also remember our colleagues who were killed in Benghazi, Libya, on this day in 2012.  Their bravery and dedication continues to inspire us and serves as a reminder of the resilience and sacrifice that define our mission.

On this Patriot Day observance, we are reminded of the enduring strength of the American people.  This resilience drives our ongoing fight against terrorism.  In the years since September 11, the United States has remained resolute in defending the homeland, protecting our people, and supporting our allies in this crucial mission.
