For many young Americans, the anniversary of September 11 serves as much of a reminder of the terrible events of that day as it does an inspiration for them to live their lives in a more meaningful way.

Each year, Young America’s Foundation helps students across the country remember the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks through the 9/11: Never Forget Project. Young America’s Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to ensuring that increasing numbers of young Americans understand and are inspired by the ideas of individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values. The Foundation introduces thousands of American youth to these principles each year by providing conferences, seminars, educational materials, internships and speakers to young people across the country.
