Five years ago today the world changed. America was attacked, and the course of human history was forever altered. As we solemnly mark the five-year anniversary of September 11, 2001 and reflect upon the heartbreaking events of that awful day, we must reaffirm our sincere promise that “We will never forget.”

We will never forget the heroes of Flight 93. We will never forget the valor of first responders who rushed into the World Trade Center buildings time and time again – many sacrificing their own lives to save others. We will never forget those who simply went to work in the twin towers and never made it home. We will never forget those lost at the Pentagon. We will never forget the innocent people who boarded four flights that would never arrive at their destinations.

And we will never forget the courageous men and women of our armed forces and law enforcement, past, present and future, who continue to protect us from ever having to experience a tragedy like that again.

We will never forget those who lost their lives that day. Today - and every day - we remember their sacrifice.

As you join with us in remembering, as you too mourn and as you too honor the victims that died five years ago today, please join us in once again promising that “We will never forget.”

May God bless us all, and God bless America.
