24 years ago the world changed forever

[noumoe]

24 years ago the world changed forever when terrorists brutally attacked the peace and security of America. It’s a day that fundamentally altered our country. A day that we will remember forever.

But in the wake of so much tragedy, we saw the best of America respond. Law enforcement acted bravely. First responders ran into danger without hesitation. Thousands of men and women from all walks of life banded together to protect and serve their fellow citizens.

It’s an honor to lead the FBI, where 4,000 special agents and 3,000 professional staff jumped to immediately assist in the work after the attack, deploying from their homes to deliver aid and support first responders in rescue efforts.

As we reflect on that day and remember the lives we lost, including the too many 9/11 related deaths the FBI has had since that horrific day, let us honor those who courageously stood guard, ran toward danger, and put everything on the line defend America in her darkest hour. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

May God bless their memories and continue to bless our country.
