TSA September 11th – Never Forget – 20th Remembrance

Description On the morning of September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The attacks resulted in the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, designed to prevent similar attacks in the future. Driven by a desire to help our nation, tens of thousands of people joined TSA and committed themselves to strengthening our transportation systems while ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. In the many years since the September 11th attacks, the Department has marshaled this collective vision to face new and emerging threats against the Homeland. Perhaps most importantly, they forge partnerships to strengthen public, private, and international cooperation and crowd-sourcing solutions. The obverse honors the lives of those lost that day with a depiction of the World Trade Center Towers, Pentagon and Shanksville Pennsylvania, with “Never Forget” depicted in front of the American Flag. The TSA emblem adorns the reverse. This coin is struck in an antique finish and has colorful enamel highlights. Each coin measures 1.75″ (44mm) in diameter.
