“On the twelfth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims of that day’s attacks and their families. We will never forget those lost. Nor will we forget the selfless first responders who heeded the call to action, or our servicemembers who continue to protect Americans at home and abroad. Today, let us take the time to honor the fallen, and to remember that even in the face of great tragedy, our American spirit remains unshakeable.”
