As this day rolls around each year, may we never forget the many peoples' lives who were lost, and the many sacrifices made that day in their behalf.
"Never forget," "always in our hearts," and "God bless." In the days after 9/11, these messages came to animate missing posters, signs and billboards. As recovery workers toiled to clear the devastation, they expressed their grief and solidarity by inscribing these words of hope on the Last Column, the last piece of steel to be removed from the World Trade Center site. Today, guests share similar messages at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
May we all take a moment today to honor their memory, reflect on their extraordinary acts of bravery, and express out heartfelt thanks for their ultimate sacrifice.
May We Never Forget.
