Today , 22 years ago , America was
attacked . It was a day that shook our
nation to its core . Today , we pause
to reflect and remember together ,
there is no greater love than this to
lay down one's life for another . And
on that day , we witnessed countless
acts of heroism and selflessness from
first responders to ordinary citizens
who stepped up to help . Let's make a
promise to remember the people we've
lost by standing up for the values that
make this country great . Let us strive
for tolerance and understanding through
our deeds , not just our words . Let us
remember that our diversity is our
strength and that we are all united by
a common purpose , regardless of our
backgrounds . As we reflect on the
sacrifices made by our servicemen and
women and our first responders . Let us
also recognize the importance of
service in our own lives .
Let us carry the torch of freedom ,
justice , and compassion forward .
Ensuring that the legacy of 9 11 is not
just one of tragedy but also one of
resilience in the enduring spirit of
America .
