September 11, 2001 – A day we will never forget. Today marks a solemn anniversary in our nation’s history. We pause to honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unthinkable tragedy. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the countless acts of bravery and kindness, and the resilience that brought communities and an entire nation together. As we reflect, we are reminded of the strength that comes from unity, compassion, and never taking for granted the freedoms we cherish. 🇺🇸 We will always remember. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕊️ 🙏 At Whelan Machine we stand united in remembrance and gratitude—for the strength, courage, and sacrifice shown on that day and in the years since. #NeverForget #September11
