Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
September 11, 2001 is the day we remember. September 12th is the one we set down. For a stretch of days and weeks, ordinary Americans became the most generous version of themselves, and nobody had to be told to.
This letter was written for September 11, 2026 and published that day. The recordings are being added to the archive as they are made.
Sourced from the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, the 9/11 Commission Report, the Congressional Record, President George W. Bush's September 20, 2001 address to Congress, Thomas Paine's "The American Crisis," and contemporary reporting on the Montesi and Nedd families from FireRescue1, the New York Daily News, and amNewYork.
