Remembering September 11th

By Ulises Cabrera, City of Moreno Valley Mayor
September 11, 2024 at 02:56pm. Views: 245

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of September 11, forever changing our nation. As we pause to remember the events of that tragic day in 2001, I’m reminded of the resilience and strength that define the American spirit across our country, and locally in our community.

 

It’s been more than two decades since the attacks, but the memories of that day remain etched in our hearts. We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the countless first responders who bravely rushed toward danger, and the unity that brought us all together in the aftermath.

 

On this solemn day, I encourage you to take a moment to honor those who sacrificed everything for the safety and freedom we enjoy today. Whether you’re attending a memorial event, participating in a moment of silence, or simply reflecting with your family, it’s important that we keep their legacy alive.

 

If you are looking for a way to honor our heroes locally, you can also lay flowers at the foot of our September 11th memorial at Fire Station 99 at 13400 Morrison Street. Our memorial features a piece of rebar from the World Trade Center—a somber reminder of those lives lost. Also, keep your eyes on the Moreno Valley ‘M’ adorned in red, white, and blue in honor of National Day of Service and Remembrance. 

 

As your mayor, I’m proud of how our City comes together in times of both celebration and remembrance. Let’s continue to support one another, not just today but every day, by living out the values of compassion, courage, and community that define us.

 

Thank you for making Moreno Valley a place where we never forget the importance of standing together as we remember the heroes of 9/11 and look forward to building a brighter, stronger future for us all.

 

 

Mañana se cumple el aniversario del 11 de Septiembre, que cambió para siempre nuestra nación. Al hacer una pausa para recordar los acontecimientos de ese trágico día de 2001, recuerdo la resiliencia y la fuerza que definen el espíritu estadounidense, en todo nuestro país y a nivel local en nuestra comunidad.

 

Han pasado más de dos décadas desde los ataques, pero los recuerdos de ese día siguen grabados en nuestros corazones. Recordamos las casi 3.000 vidas perdidas, los innumerables socorristas que valientemente corrieron hacia el peligro y la unidad que nos unió a todos después.

 

En este día solemne, los animo a que se tomen un momento para honrar a quienes sacrificaron todo por la seguridad y la libertad que disfrutamos hoy. Ya sea que asista a un evento conmemorativo, participe en un momento de silencio o simplemente reflexione con su familia, es importante que mantengamos vivo su legado.

 

Si está buscando una manera de honrar a nuestros héroes localmente, también puede colocar flores al pie de nuestro monumento conmemorativo del 11 de Septiembre en la Estación de Bomberos 99 en 13400 Morrison Street. Nuestro monumento presenta un trozo de barra de refuerzo del World Trade Center, un sombrío recordatorio de las vidas perdidas. Además, mantenga sus ojos en la 'M' de Moreno Valley adornada en rojo, blanco y azul, en honor al Día Nacional de Servicio y Recuerdo. 

 

Como su alcalde, estoy orgulloso de cómo nuestra Ciudad se une en tiempos de celebración y recuerdo. Sigamos apoyándonos unos a otros, no sólo hoy, sino todos los días, viviendo los valores de compasión, valor, y comunidad que nos definen.

Gracias por haber hecho a Moreno Valley un lugar donde nunca olvidamos la importancia de permanecer juntos mientras recordamos a los héroes del 11 de Septiembre y esperamos construir un futuro más brillante y más fuerte para todos nosotros.
