25 Years After 9/11: The Threat Has Evolved - Have We?
REGISTER HERE: https://ajc.ticketspice.com/25yearsafter911
Twenty-five years ago, America watched in horror as nearly 3,000 innocent lives were taken in the deadliest terrorist attack in our nation’s history. In the aftermath, we vowed to remember the victims, honor the heroes, and never forget the evil that struck our homeland.
But remembrance alone is not enough.
⚠️ A quarter-century later, the threats confronting America have not disappeared—they have evolved. Islamic terrorism, jihadist ideology, state-sponsored extremism, Sharia-based movements, and emerging ideological dangers continue to challenge our security, our freedoms, and our way of life. The tactics may have changed, but the determination of those who seek to undermine America has not.
🕯️ Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking luncheon on the 25th anniversary of September 11 as we pay tribute to the lives lost, recognize the extraordinary courage of the heroes who answered the call, and confront the difficult questions America can no longer afford to ignore.
What have we truly learned since 9/11? What warning signs have we overlooked? How have the threats changed—and are we prepared for what comes next?
🛡️ This will be more than a memorial. It will be a call to remembrance, vigilance, courage, and action.
We owe it to those we lost to remember the past. We owe it to future generations to understand the present and prepare for tomorrow.
REMEMBER. HONOR. UNDERSTAND. PREPARE. NEVER FORGET.
