SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025, marks the 24th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and near Shanksville, Pa.

Ceremonies are scheduled nationwide to honor the nearly 3,000 victims, including firefighters, police officers, paramedics, military service members, and other first responders.

At Sarasota National Cemetery, volunteers with Carry The Load and the National Cemetery Administration will hold a Patriot Day cleanup from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The headstone cleaning and beautification project is part of Carry The Load’s nationwide events at nearly 70 cemeteries. More than 40 volunteers are registered locally, and registration remains open at carrytheload.org.

“Patriot Day is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice shown by our first responders and military on 9/11 and beyond.” — Stephen Holley, Carry The Load co-founder, president, and CEO.
