The history of our Nation was forever changed 17 years ago today. I was proud to join the Brockport Fire Department and first responders from throughout the community to remember the lives that were lost and the sacrifices that were made on this infamous day. We will never forget the first responders and other brave men and women who ran towards the chaos to help those in need, risking their own lives for the sake of others.

My sincere thanks to everyone who joined us this morning and who have continued to keep this moving tribute alive.
