GORUCK EVENT WEEKEND: 9/11 (25th Anniversary) Commemorative Events 2026

"These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation."
— President George W. Bush

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, changed America and the lives of Americans forever. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of 9/11—a time not only to remember, but to come together as a nation.

Our Cadre conduct 9/11 Commemorative Events around the country to honor and remember those we lost: the courageous First Responders, the innocent lives taken, and the soldiers who stood up in the fight against terrorism.

On this 25th Anniversary, we look back to honor their sacrifice—and we look forward, united in resilience, strength, and community. Cadre and participants will share their 9/11 stories: Where were you? How did it change your life?
