Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.
