"As folks across the country and across the world remember the lives taken and the sacrifices made because of the attacks on our nation that day, let us also remember the deep feeling of unity that brought us together as Americans in the face of evil. My thoughts and prayers remain with those whose lives were taken the morning of September 11, 2001, with their loved ones, and with our country's first responders and men and women in uniform as they work every day to protect our freedoms and keep us safe from harm."
