I still lie awake at night thinking about everything that could have been, that wasn't done to stop 9/11. To the 9/11 families, I said, you deserve better from your entire government. All of us.
Three thousand people died, ... No matter how hard we worked or how desperately we tried, it was not enough. The victims and the families of 9/11 deserve better.
You deserve better from your entire government, all of us.
