As we commemorate the 16th anniversary of the September 11attacks, we ask the U.S. citizen community in Paraguay to remember the thousands of innocent victims lost on September 11, 2001. We honor the heroic sacrifice of the men and women who risked their lives that day so that others might survive, and we send our thoughts and prayers to the families who lost their loved ones.
As the anniversary date approaches, U.S. citizens should remain vigilant, review personal security plans, and remain aware of your surroundings as U.S. citizens may be targeted by extremist groups regardless of the country they are in.
