Join Arlington Public Library and the Pentagon Memorial Fund for a meaningful evening of remembrance, reflection, and community dialogue as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Together, we will honor the lives lost, recognize the extraordinary resilience shown in the years since, and reflect on the lasting impact of that day on our nation, our communities, and future generations.

This special program will feature a community conversation with distinguished local leaders, including Delgate Patrick Hope (District 1), and Stanley Meador (VA Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security). Speakers will share personal reflections on remembrance, public service, civic leadership, and community resilience, while exploring the importance of preserving the history and lessons of September 11 for future generations.
