"Today, we honor 42 individuals who sacrificed their lives to ensure that we will continue to get up. We, as a city, we sit under the tree of freedom because the 42 men and women watered that tree with their blood."
"I think about Officer Bromm and Officer Patterson, whose injuries lasted for many years, and how it impacted their families as they had to endure the pain that was associated with that attack."
"Although we give honor to the men and women that we lost during September 11, the real reflection I believe is on September 12. We got up. And when we got up, the entire country got up."
