They were the fathers who drove the neighborhood carpools to school. They were the mothers who tucked their kids into bed at night.
On this Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the heroes and victims who lost their lives on September 11, and we recommit ourselves to the spirit of unity, patriotism, and service that carried our Nation through in the days that followed.īefore they were national heroes, the women and men we honor were already heroes to so many others. They are reminders that we are a great country because we are a good people. These patriots - people of undaunted courage, uncommon resolve, and unwavering perseverance - are forever ingrained in our national character. And a generation of women and men answered the call of duty by joining our Armed Forces to defend our freedom and our democracy. Passengers and crewmembers gave their lives to thwart another attack. EMTs, construction workers, colleagues, and strangers tended to the wounded. Firefighters and police officers rushed into crumbling buildings and raging fires to save others. On September 11, 2001, ordinary Americans performed extraordinary acts of heroism.
