The Honor Summit:
United in Remembrance of 9/11

Mount Washington, NH • September 9-12, 2026

In September 2026, two pillars of light rose from the highest peak in the Northeast as a powerful symbol of resilience, gratitude, and unity. Inspired by the dual beams that honor September 11, The Honor Summit paid tribute to the lives lost, the first responders who answered the call, and the veterans whose courage continues to protect our communities.

Bridging the Distance - 25 Years Later

2026 marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11, a day that continues to resonate across generations. As time shapes the way we understand this defining moment in American history, The Honor Summit was created to bridge the distance between lived and learned experience. In a year that also marked our nation's 250th anniversary, this moment invited us to consider the values that unite us, to reflect not only on where we've been, but who we choose to be together.

Experience The Honor Summit

From September 9-12, the beams of light illuminated the sky above Mount Washington. These four nights presented a meaningful opportunity to come together and remember, honor, and reflect.
