In the aftermath of 9/11, we stood with the victims and their families, and we also stood with each other. Today should be a day of remembering and grieving, but it should be a day of reflection; a day to look back at the past 11 years and how, despite how much adversity we’ve faced, we have been able to get back on track and truly be the UNITED States of America. This is why our country is so strong.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families and friends today. We will never forget, and we will never struggle to end extremism and stand together to fight oppression.
