John,
Tomorrow morning marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Millions of Americans will spend the day honoring the nearly 3,000 people who
were killed, and remembering how one of our darkest moments brought out the
best in us as a country.
We pledged to never forget — and we never have. As Mike wrote this week in the
New York Post: "On the sacred ground of the World Trade Center, memory lives
on. So does life. And so does the spirit that inspired us in the wake of 9/11:
unity, resolve, and a patriotism that transcends party lines."
Our task now is to carry that spirit, and our shared memories of sacrifice
and heroism, forward.
More than 100 million Americans alive today are too young to remember the
attacks. It is important that they — and generations to come — have an
understanding of the tragic losses we endured, and how New Yorkers and
Americans across the country pulled together to meet destruction with courage,
service, and resilience. In the decades ahead, responsibility for carrying
history forward will pass from those who lived it to those who learned it.
As we mark this milestone, there are a number of ways you can be a part of
that mission.
Make a matched donation to the Never Forget Fund
<[link removed]>
In honor of the 25th anniversary, Mike is matching all donations, up to $25
million, to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum's Never Forget Fund. Anything you give
will go twice as far toward preserving the history and sharing the stories of
9/11 for years to come. Take a moment to watch as Mike, who is chairman of the
9/11 Memorial & Museum, explains the importance of supporting the Never Forget
Fund and why he is doubling all donations.

Take part in the "Remember the Sky" social campaign

On the morning of the attacks, the sky over Manhattan was a clear, bright
blue. Tomorrow, you can join in an act of remembrance and community by taking a
picture of the sky above you and sharing it on your social media channels with
the hashtag #NeverForget911 and #RememberTheSky. By coming together to share
our own memories and honor our shared history, we can help fulfill our pledge
to never forget.

Read and share Mike's messages on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks
This week, Mike shared his reflections on the quarter-century that has passed
since September 11, 2001 in theNew York Post and USA Today.
In the New York Post, he looked back at the work to ensure that the Ground
Zero restoration memorialized the lost and honored the history of that day
<[link removed]>
, while also revitalizing lower Manhattan and creating new spaces for community
and creativity:
"...the greatest tribute we could pay to those we lost, and the strongest
rejection of the terrorists we could make, was to bring new life and vitality
back to the site, and all of Lower Manhattan…"

For USA Today, Mike wrote about New York's resilience in the face of the
terrorist attacks
<[link removed]>
, and how the city's — and America's — core values inspired the rebuilding at
Ground Zero:
"The terrorists targeted New York City because it has long been a symbol of
the freedoms they hated. They aimed not only to bring down buildings, but also
to break our spirit and our commitment to the values that give us strength:
openness, diversity, tolerance and ambition. To see New York a quarter century
later is to comprehend how profoundly they failed."
