Biden emphasized that while January 6, 2021, was a day of violence against democracy, it ultimately showcased the resilience of the nation. He stated, 'We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault. And we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year. But we should not forget. We must remember the wisdom of the adage that any nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it.' His words serve as a reminder of the importance of remembrance and vigilance in protecting democratic ideals.
