“Today we mark the 18th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We remember the nearly-3,000 people who lost their lives. We pray for all of the 9/11 victims and their families. We honor our 9/11 heroes. They were the brightest lights that day in the dark sky--our brave firefighters, police, service men and women. So many Americans gave their lives to save lives that day, and we pay tribute to them today. Congress has passed new laws to care for 9/11 first responders. We recently made the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund permanent. This ensures that all those who responded to the terror attacks and their families have peace of mind and first-rate healthcare.”
