4、n.There’s much that we’ve been reminded of from those two terrible days, whether it’s howAmerica never rests until murderers are brought to justice, whether it’s Usama bin Ladin orAhmad Abu Khattalah, or that always, always we find ways to keep our people as safe as we canin
5、a dangerous world, and the ARB implementation and the daily wrestling with riskmanagement underscore how much that effort is central to all of our lives. 9/11/2023 and9/11/2023, these were both days that forever changed us as people, as public servants, and asa country. But particularly when we look

10、go which has gottenme through some particularly tough losses: Every day is extra. Life can change and even end ina minute, so those of us who are lucky to have today and many more days must make the mostof those extra days, our extra days, and our time here to continue the work of those we lost andto be proud of what they represent, and to renew as well our special pledge to continue on intheir memory, today and tomorrow and every day.Take care.
