They also left an indelible mark on every American who witnessed that day and experienced the uncertainty, grief and resolve that followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This September, we observe the 25th anniversary of 9\/11. We remember those who were lost. We honor the families who have carried their absence for a quarter century. We recognize the first responders, members of our military and countless others whose service and sacrifice continued long after that morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For C. Forbes, Inc., this anniversary is also deeply connected to our company\u2019s own history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the Call Came<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C. Forbes, Inc. was <a href=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/?page_id=32517\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"32517\">founded by Chip Forbes in 1998<\/a> in the basement of the Forbes family home in Richmond, Virginia. When the attacks occurred three years later, the company was still young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chip had been at the Pentagon on business only days before September 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the aftermath of the attack, the White House and Pentagon began planning a memorial ceremony to be held on October 11, 2001\u2014exactly one month later\u2014on the grounds near the Pentagon\u2019s North Entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approximately 15 days before the ceremony, C. Forbes received a request: Could we provide 30,000 custom lapel pins, individually mounted on presentation cards, for those attending?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timeline was demanding. The meaning of the assignment was far greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working closely with the Department of Defense graphics team, the \u201cUnited in Memory\u201d design was finalized and production began. Long hours followed, but the people involved understood that this was more than an order. It was an opportunity to serve during a moment of national grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pins were completed for the ceremony and presented to those gathered at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a company only three years into its story, it became a defining moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square.jpg\" alt=\"UIM Lapel\" class=\"wp-image-4547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square-280x280.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/UIM_Lapel_Square-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Responsibility to Remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon\u2019s \u201cUnited in Memory\u201d project eventually led to a relationship with the National September 11 Memorial &amp; Museum in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning with the museum\u2019s \u201cHonor and Remember\u201d limited-edition coin in 2014, C. Forbes helped develop an ongoing series of commemorative coins and keepsakes. Individual designs have honored important people, places and symbols within the larger 9\/11 story, including the Survivor Tree, the Last Column, the Tribute in Light, rescue dogs and the Memorial Glade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the <a href=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/?p=6162\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6162\">9\/11 Memorial Glade opened in 2019<\/a> to honor rescue, recovery and relief workers\u2014as well as those who became sick or died from exposure to toxins after the attacks\u2014we created a commemorative coin containing material sourced from the granite monoliths used in the Glade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, the series continued with the message, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/?p=33075\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"33075\">In Darkness We Shine Brightest,<\/a>\u201d reflecting the strength and hope Americans offered one another during one of our nation\u2019s darkest periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, another coin from the collection became part of NFL history when it was used for the opening coin toss of the Buffalo Bills\u2013New York Jets game played at MetLife Stadium on September 11. The game-used coin was subsequently offered at auction to benefit the Memorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These pieces are small enough to be held in one hand, but what they represent cannot be measured by their size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each carries a story. Each gives someone a tangible connection to a person, a place or a moment that must not be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/911_Coins3-1400x786.jpg\" alt=\"coins\" class=\"wp-image-32410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/911_Coins3-1400x786.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/911_Coins3-713x400.jpg 713w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/911_Coins3-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/911_Coins3-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/911_Coins3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Twenty-Five Years of Stepping Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work that began with an urgent call from the Pentagon became part of a larger purpose for C. Forbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, our company has been entrusted to help commemorate defining chapters in the American story: the Jamestown 400th anniversary, the Centennial of Flight, the centennial of the New York City Veterans Day Parade, the National World War I Memorial, the women\u2019s suffrage centennial, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/?p=35909\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"35909\">United States Army\u2019s 250th<\/a> anniversary and America\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have created pieces for museums, memorials, military organizations, federal agencies, nonprofit foundations and public institutions. The occasions have been different, but the responsibility has remained the same: understand the story, respect its significance and create something worthy of being carried forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every commemorative need arrives with years of preparation. Sometimes the call comes during an unexpected moment, when people are grieving, history is unfolding and an organization needs a trusted partner willing to step forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was true in September 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It continues to guide us today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cforbesinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/C.Forbes.Team_.2024_web-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"C.

It lives in the work of the National September 11 Memorial &amp; Museum and in the millions of people who visit, learn and remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For everyone at C. Forbes, it remains an honor to have played a small role in preserving that memory\u2014from the 30,000 \u201cUnited in Memory\u201d pins created for the Pentagon in 2001 to the commemorative pieces that continue telling the story today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this 25th anniversary, we pause once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We remember the lives taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We honor the heroes who answered the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stand with the families whose loss continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we renew a promise that must endure from one generation to the next:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We will never forget.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twenty-five years after September 11, C.
