Always Remember
09/10/2016
A great writer has said that "The struggle of humanity against tyranny is the struggle of memory against forgetting. When we fight terror, we fight tyranny and so remember." Please take time, not just today but every day, to remember the many who died, the many who served, volunteered and all those who must continue to carry on.
“One of the worst days in America’s history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans’ history. We’ll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice.”
"That day we watched unspeakable acts of evil unfold. But we also witnessed incredible acts of courage, outpourings of human kindness, fierce solidarity; and that is what will be remembered, along with thousands of innocent souls that perished that day, September 11, 2001. Never Forget."
"Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."
—President George W. Bush
September 11 is one of our worst days but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for.
– Senator Lamar Alexander
"Heroes come in different forms,
And some are never known ...
Giving all they could possibly give
From their hearts and on their own."
