A special tribute HONORING 9/11

Atlanta, Georgia Sep 11, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Families, Survivors, Heroes and Creators Invited to Share Stories, Memories and Original Tributes Throughout September

Atlanta, Georgia -- September 2026 -- In recognition of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, ARI Red International TV is dedicating special September programming to remembrance, reflection and honoring the lives, families, survivors and heroes connected to 9/11.

The initiative, "Remembering 9/11: 25 Years Later," is being presented by Monetia Smothers, Founder & CEO of Armani Entertainment Group LLC, the parent company of ARI Red International TV.

Throughout September, ARI Red will provide a respectful platform for families, survivors, first responders, rescue and recovery workers, and creators to share stories, memories and original tributes.

A SPACE FOR REMEMBRANCE, REFLECTION & HEALING

"Remembering 9/11: 25 Years Later" is not only about remembering what happened--it is also about remembering the people who were loved, the lives they lived and the stories that remain.

For some families and survivors, sharing memories, telling their loved one's story and creating a tribute can be a meaningful part of reflection and healing.

ARI Red International TV hopes to provide a respectful space where families and creators can use storytelling, video, art, poetry and personal reflection to honor the past, preserve memories and express the emotions that remain 25 years later.

This initiative recognizes that healing can take many forms. For some, it may mean speaking about a loved one. For others, it may mean creating something, sharing a memory, celebrating a life or simply making sure a story is never forgotten.

The goal is not to tell families how to heal. The goal is to give them a respectful place to remember, reflect and share in whatever way feels meaningful to them.

FAMILIES INVITED TO SHARE VIDEO TRIBUTES

Families are invited to participate by creating a new, original video tribute honoring a loved one affected by September 11.

Family members may share:

* Personal memories
* Stories about their loved one's life
* Accomplishments and achievements
* Family photographs
* Messages about what they want future generations to remember
* Personal reflections on the lasting impact of their loved one's life

The purpose is to remember the people behind the history and preserve their stories for future generations.

There is no fee to submit a family tribute.

Submitted tribute videos must be newly recorded or created specifically for the "Remembering 9/11: 25 Years Later" initiative.

ARI Red is not requesting previously published television programs, documentaries, news broadcasts or previously produced videos.

A MESSAGE FROM MONETIA SMOTHERS

Monetia Smothers, Founder & CEO of Armani Entertainment Group LLC, is opening the initiative throughout September to provide families and creators with an opportunity to contribute their own stories and original tributes.

"Twenty-five years later, the stories still matter. This initiative is about remembering the people--their lives, their families, their dreams and the memories they left behind. I want to give families and creators a respectful place to share those stories and help make sure they are never forgotten. Sometimes healing begins with being able to tell the story, remember the person and know that their life still matters."
