Later this week, our nation will mark 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks. For many, the anniversary may bring powerful emotions to the surface.

Grief. Fear. Anger. Sadness. Memories of where we were, who we lost and how that day changed our lives.

As we prepare to honor those lost and those who answered the call, take care of yourself and check on each other. Reach out to a friend, loved one, teammate or mental health professional if you need support.
