On 9/11, Beth Marr’s father, John Marr of FDNY Engine 34/Ladder 21, responded to the attacks alongside the rest of his firehouse. In the months that followed the collapse of the Twin Towers, Marr devoted himself to the rescue, recovery, and relief efforts, while also spending countless hours supporting the widows, families, and loved ones grieving unimaginable loss.

Years later, John Marr passed away from a 9/11-related illness, one of the many first responders who continued to bear the lasting impact of that day. Today, his legacy lives on through the courage, compassion, and selflessness he showed both during and after September 11.

For 25 years, two beams of light have risen above New York City each September 11, a powerful symbol of remembrance, honoring the Twin Towers and the nearly 3,000 people whose lives were lost.

This year, for the first time, the nation will be invited to witness Tribute in Light together.

On Friday, September 11, ABC News will present "9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan," in partnership with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. The special will air at 8 PM ET across ABC, Disney+, Hulu, National Geographic, and ABC News Live.

The broadcast will feature live performances from Lainey Wilson and John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting at the base of the iconic beams, creating a shared moment of remembrance for audiences across the country.

Join us as the lights rise once again and as we come together, 25 years later, to remember, reflect, and honor the lives and legacy of September 11.

Johnathan Egan lost his father and aunt when the South Tower collapsed on 9/11. Inspired by a lyric from his father’s favorite Beatles song — “Take a sad song and make it better” — Egan has dedicated his life to service, remembrance, and ensuring the stories of those lost are never forgotten.

Today, as Co-CEO of the Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden in lower Manhattan, he continues to honor the memory of his loved ones by creating a place of reflection, resilience, and hope for future generations.

Terri Tobin joined the NYPD in 1983 and responded to 9/11 as a lieutenant, surviving the collapse of the South Tower. Despite severe injuries, she continued rescue efforts, earning her the NYPD Medal of Honor. She rose to Assistant Chief in 2019 — one of only three women to hold the rank at the time — and retired as Chief of Interagency Operations in December 2024.

Tobin’s story is part of the annual 9/11 Memorial & Museum Digital Learning. To hear more stories, register for free today: https://ow.ly/eOCo50ZHiz6

Twenty-five years later, a new generation is growing up without a lived memory of 9/11.
They didn’t see the towers fall. They didn’t witness the grief, courage, or extraordinary acts of compassion that unfolded in the hours and days that followed.

As that distance grows, so does the urgency of our mission: to preserve the history of 9/11, honor the lives and stories of those affected, and ensure future generations understand why we remember.

Help us carry this mission forward. For a limited time, every gift to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum is matched 2X, doubling your impact and helping us reach a new generation.

Thank you for standing with us, the families of 9/11 and all those whose lives were forever changed. Donate today: https://neverforget.org?c_src=don_mktg_all_fb_25th_osoc_OrgSoc_&utm_source=fb&utm_medium=osoc&utm_term=don&utm_content=OrgSoc_&utm_campaign=25th
