We give a lot of attention not September 11th, 2001. I'd like to encourage you to think of September 10th and September 12th.

On September 12th, the world came together to support America in its time of need. It was the most united I have ever seen our country and our world. Let us remember that day in these divided times. Let us remember that we can unite for great things.

On September 10th, we thought we were invincible. We believe in American exceptionalism. Attacks can't happen here. Pandemics can't happen here. It can't happen here. We like to delude ourselves into believing we are special.

America is a special country, but the rules still apply to us, and we have to ground our dreams in reality.

Let us learn the many lessons from the tragedy of 19 years ago.
