On September 11, 2001, our nation witnessed a tragedy that permanently altered the course of our lives. Families, friends, and communities across the United States were deeply affected as we lost nearly 3,000 cherished souls in an unimaginable act of terror. Each year, this day reminds us of the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of countless individuals who were caught in the midst of these horrific events. This petition calls upon the President to officially recognize September 11th as a National and Federal holiday of remembrance.

We must honor the memory of those who perished—the innocents in the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, the heroic passengers of Flight 93, and the selfless first responders who put their lives on the line to save others. In the aftermath, many of our first responders and cleanup crews endured long-term health complications, while numerous families continue to struggle without their loved ones.

Designating September 11th as a day of remembrance would not only commemorate those we've lost but would also offer a chance for national reflection and solidarity. This official recognition would provide a structured occasion to teach future generations about the events of 9/11 and the enduring impact it has had on our national psyche and security.

Numerous other countries have designated holidays to remember significant national tragedies, which helps foster resilience and unity. By following this precedent, we can ensure that the lessons and sacrifices of 9/11 are never forgotten.

This proposal is more than symbolic; it represents our collective promise to never forget the tragic events of that fateful day and to keep the stories of bravery, sacrifice, and resilience alive in our hearts. Let us stand together to memorialize September 11th, ensuring it remains an integral part of our national consciousness, now and for generations to come.

Please sign this petition to urge the President to honor our commitment to remembrance and resilience by designating 9/11 as a National and Federal holiday.
