Today we come together to reflect on that horrific day and remember the lives we lost. It is also important to remember the American spirit that prevailed in the face of such tragedy. American’s came together to show the world that we will not be broken, we are resilient and courageous. On this 17^th anniversary, I remind all West Virginians to recommit themselves to service. Service to our country, our community, our neighbors and our families. May God bless us all and may God bless the United States of America.”
