19 years later, celebrities are remembering 9/11
19 years ago, the Twin Towers in New York City fell and forever changed our country and the world. 2,977 people died in the devastating terror attack.
Today, we remember all the lives lost and the heroes who jumped into action to help save others.
Sarah Hyland took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
“My heart is with my hometown today. It’s with all the lives lost and their families, all of the first responders who fearlessly ran into a building of uncertainty, and every single New Yorker that lived to tell that day. We came together not only as a city, but as a nation. We were united. I remember every single detail of September 11th. A day I will never forget.”
