"Every year for decades, we stand on this pier to commemorate the day that changed all our lives. They say that time heals all wounds, but every year we grieve as if it happened yesterday. Everyone lost someone that day, and our community was one of the hardest hit. But I believe the experience has brought us closer together - more so than we had ever been before."
"If we learn nothing else from the tragedies we faced, we learned that love endures and conquers all. The love we have for our neighbors, our community members, and fellow New Yorkers is what keeps this city and country the best in the world."
"One of the most memorable things I saw was the solidarity the nation showed. It was not just a tragedy for a moment, but a rallying point for our country."
"We want to make sure the sacrifices that were made on that day were not made in vain. As the years pass, it becomes increasingly important to tell these stories and educate the newer generation."
