Twenty-four years after 9/11, the Virginia War Memorial's Patriot Day ceremony in Richmond echoed with remembrance. A memorial bell tolled for lives lost in New York, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, as speakers, including Rear Admiral Samuel Cox, highlighted enduring threats and the vital unity that emerged from tragedy. Attendees reflected on a time when differences faded, and a shared sense of community prevailed. The Freedom Flag, already Virginia's symbol of remembrance, could soon gain national recognition, ensuring future generations never forget the lessons of that day.
