In a moving interview on NewsNation, U.S. Air Force Capt. Hanna Born shared the inspiration behind Run to Remember 2977, a nationwide remembrance initiative honoring each of the 2,977 victims lost on September 11, 2001. Born, who was a child in the Pentagon Day Care Center when the Pentagon was attacked, explained how her family’s experience that day shaped her commitment to service and remembrance. Through her mission of running one mile for every victim while speaking their names aloud, she seeks to ensure that the individuals behind the tragedy are never forgotten and that younger generations understand the human impact of 9/11. The interview highlights the powerful connections the project has created among victims’ families, survivors, and fellow Americans, while underscoring themes of patriotism, gratitude, unity, and the enduring promise to never forget.
