The September 11 National Memorial Trail Alliance is creating a living memorial to keep the memories of those lost on September 11, 2001, alive. This nonprofit organization is physically connecting all three 9/11 sites through a National Memorial Trail.
This trail, spanning over 1,500 miles across six states and Washington D.C., serves as a space for remembrance and emotional connection. People can use the trail daily by walking, running, hiking, or biking.
As the 25th remembrance approaches, the alliance is focused on installing 2,300 way-finding signs throughout Pennsylvania by September 11 of this year. This effort ensures that the legacies of the 40 heroes aboard United Flight 93 and others are honored.
The trail aims to foster healing and carry the grief of that day with grace, allowing individuals to feel a sense of closeness to the heroes and their enduring values of resilience and unity.
