"Twenty-three years may seem a lifetime away, but for so many of us in this city, the tragedy of September 11th still feels immediate. Today I mourn the lifetimes cut short – the New Yorkers we lost on that morning, and all who have since suffered the lasting harm that stemmed from their heroism on that day. We have a moral obligation to support the families and lift the memories of all who were killed, and provide the resources needed to aid the people still in physical, mental, and emotional pain."
"That unimaginable tragedy showed our unimaginable capacity to care – that from common pain, we can draw common purpose. I pray today that we might summon that purpose to better support all New Yorkers facing danger and hardship, to bring the spirit of our brave, selfless first responders to the tragedies of today."
