It’s been 17 years since terrorists used airplanes to attack the United States—but the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, are far from forgotten.

Many organizations took a moment to remember the heroes, victims and survivors of the terrorist attacks that claimed lives in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. The attacks killed almost 3,000 people and injured over 6,000 others.

Twitter was a common channel for posting messages affirming American ideals. Organizations including the National Men’s Soccer team posted videos, and organizations such as NASA showed photos demonstrating institutional tributes to the losses suffered that day.

This view from NASA’s Opportunity rover shows part of the rover’s robotic arm. The component that bears the American flag is made of metal recovered from the site of the World Trade Center towers.

Many took time to remember what they did that day in 2001:

17 years ago I was in the classroom with my students as we watched reports of what was happening. I will #neverforget that morning and what it meant not only for my students, but our country. Today, we honor those we lost and remember our strength when we stand together.

We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There's nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.
