September 11 is a day that Americans will never forget.

Two decades have passed, but the memory endures stronger than ever. It’s heartbreaking to think of that fateful day, but true to the American spirit, we united and drew together under the idea that who we are as a people, and what we represent, is worth defending.

Please take a moment today to honor the fallen. My heart goes out to every American who was impacted by that day -- my thoughts and prayers are with you.
