Today, 25 years after 9/11, we still remember. We remember the clear skies. We remember the people killed. We remember the resilience and unity that followed. With this photo of the sky above the Obama Presidential Center today, we remember alongside the 911 Memorial. #NeverForget911 #RememberTheSky
