It is September 11th, a date that will never be forgotten. Straight from the desk of Governor Cuomo is a letter that touches on the events that happened in 2001. We must always make the effort to pass on the importance of 9/11 to our younger generations. Click below to find out more.
Dear Fellow New Yorker,
On this day, we mark the eleventh anniversary of the terror attacks that claimed thousands of lives and truly changed New York and our nation forever. On this day, we honor the memories and the lives of those who were killed and the families who will never forget them. We also honor the first responders who bravely put themselves in harm’s way – many of whom never returned home.
It is also our obligation and our duty to make sure that we will always remember. As a new generation grows up without having witnessed the horror of September 11th, it is important to educate our children so they can understand the tragedy that unfolded on that day, the bravery and courage of our first responders, and the outpouring of goodwill in communities across New York and America as we recovered as one state and one nation.
Sincerely,
Andrew Cuomo
