Standing Ready: The U.S. Navy’s Response to 9/11
Patriot Day: We Will Never Forget 9.11

On this Patriot Day, we honor those lost on September 11, 2001, and the many who rose in service afterward.

The U.S. Navy, like all branches of our armed forces, stood ready in the hours, days, and months that followed, protecting our coasts, deploying globally, and answering the call.

May we always remember, and never forget the power of unity, resilience, and sacrifice.
