Twenty-Five Years Later: Remembering 42 Michigan Victims of the September 11 Tragedy

World Trade Center Survivor Patrick Anderson Reflects on Events of 2001

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Patrick L. Anderson, World Trade Center survivor and founder of the Michigan Remembers 9-11 Fund, prepares to mark another year of solemn reflection on a terrible day in 2001. Michigan Remembers 9-11 maintains a list and brief bios of those lost from our state on its website at MichiganRemembers.org. A list of the 42 victims identified as having Michigan ties attached to this release for convenience.

"For the past quarter century, we have strived to keep alive the memory of each person with ties to Michigan who lost their life on September 11, 2001," said Anderson. "We remain committed to sharing their names and stories, and to denying the attackers' desire to erase them from history."

Mr. Anderson will be remembering the events of that day during a special ceremony on the morning of Saturday, September 11, 2026. The event will be held at Selfridge Air Force Base. For more information, please contact the Selfridge public affairs office.
