This Saturday will mark the 20th anniversary of the moment that forever changed the lives of Americans. The 9/11 attack would claim the lives of nearly 3,000 people in one day –– making it the single largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was established in 2003 as part of the Department of Homeland Security to create a single, unified command agency focused on the security of our nation’s borders following the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
