"PROCLAMATION

On this 11th day of September, 24 years ago, nearly 3,000 innocent men, women, and children were taken from their families and from us. The acts of terror on that day were meant to break the spirit of our nation and undermine the faith of Americans and the world in this country and all that we stand for. But even amidst these horrific attacks, we saw countless instances of selflessness and bravery - first responders running into flames and strangers stepping up to help one another.
