In this powerful SiriusXM interview, 9/11 Legacy Foundation Founder and CEO Dr. Chris Meek reflects on the enduring importance of remembering the victims, heroes, and lasting impact of the September 11th terrorist attacks, especially during Memorial Day weekend, a time dedicated to honoring those who sacrificed for the nation. The conversation explores the Foundation’s guiding message, “We Remember So They Never Forget,” emphasizing the growing urgency of preserving the memory of 9/11 for younger generations. Today, more than half of the U.S. population was under the age of 10 when the attacks occurred, meaning millions of Americans have little or no personal memory of that day. Dr. Meek discusses why civic memory, education, national unity, and honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost remain critically important nearly twenty-five years later. The interview also highlights the mission of the 9/11 Legacy Foundation to ensure future generations understand not only the tragedy itself, but also the resilience, heroism, and shared humanity that emerged in its aftermath.
