Read MoreFBI National Citizens Academy Alumni Association September 11, 2001 ~ An Important Day in American History. We are passing along this special message from FBI Director Christopher Wray. We know that all our FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association chapter leaders and members will appreciate this opportunity to read what Director Wray has written below to us. Please give this information the widest possible distribution to your Chapter members. September 11, 2018 To All – We all remember exactly where we were 17 years ago, on that bright, sunny September morning, when the first plane struck the World Trade Center. We all remember how we felt as that dark day wore on – and as the days and weeks and months passed thereafter. That day – September 11, 2001 – is indelibly inked into our nation’s history. It’s part of who we are. In many ways, it has made us who we are. As a nation, as a society, and as everyday citizens, we’re more vigilant and more aware of the threats we face. We’re also stronger. We’re more resilient. And yes, in spite of all of our differences, we’re united in a common cause – to do everything we can to ensure we never have to live through another day like that again. Like the rest of the country, the FBI was forever changed by September 11th. As an institution, we look back on where we were that day and on how much has changed since then. Today, the FBI is in a much different – and better – place. We’ve changed in ways that have made us more forward leaning, more collaborative, and more agile. There is no “status quo” for us. We’ve got to keep moving forward; we’ve got to evolve to meet ever-changing threats. To do that, we’ve got to keep forging deep and lasting partnerships with our colleagues in law enforcement and in the intelligence community, and with our international counterparts. We’ve got to share intelligence and expertise. And we’ve got to stand together with the people we serve, with all of you – with community, civic, and religious leaders, CEOs and small business owners, teachers and students, and everyday citizens...
