Dear Friends,
On
this day, 18 years ago, with the terrorist attacks of 911, 2,977
innocent souls were taken, including 26 Yonkers residents,18 years ago
today, as America suffered the most devastating terrorist attack in its
history.
The
attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirits. Instead,
we as a Nation have emerged more unified. On this day, heroism was
revealed in all Americans. Communities gathered together, volunteering
their time for those suffering, mourning together and giving back to our
fallen heroes. Yonkers stood strong. We did not allow such a heinous
attack to destroy us, but rather, bring out the best in our great city
and its residents.
Today
and everyday, we will always remember the heroes we lost on September
11, 2001. Let us never forget the sacrifices of our first responders and
continue to pray for the families impacted. I am proud to be an
American, especially today!
May God bless you all and may God bless these United States of America.
