On Saturday afternoon, as I was placing our eighteen flags at the September 11 Memorial in Manhattan, a woman and her son stopped to ask me why I was placing them. When I answered her question, she smiled at me and thanked me for taking the time to answer her question. I, in turn, thanked her for taking the time to ask.

If we are here this time next year and the Memorial is here this time next year, then we shall do then what we have done every September since the Memorial opened. We shall place our flags and do our small part to help honor our commitment to those souls murdered on that terrible Tuesday morning more than two decades ago to make sure that neither their lives nor their deaths shall ever be forgotten.
