Twenty-five years ago, in the days immediately following the attacks of September 11, 2001, an extraordinary team of U.S. Special Operations Forces, CIA personnel, and courageous Afghan allies answered our Nation's call.

Their actions altered the course of history and are forever commemorated by the America's Response Monument overlooking the National September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero.

On October 16, 2026, the America's Response Monument Foundation will commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Task Force Dagger. This once-in-a-generation gathering will honor those who served, preserve an enduring national symbol, and ensure future generations understand the remarkable story it represents.

Our campaign is built around Two Missions. One Enduring Legacy. Mission One is to honor the legacy through the commemoration and preservation of the Monument. Mission Two is to build the future through the Strength & Honor Scholarship, administered by No Greater Sacrifice, creating educational opportunities for members of the Special Operations community and their families.

We invite you to become a Founding Partner in this historic effort. Your partnership will help preserve one of America's enduring symbols of courage while investing in those who will carry that legacy forward.
