Wray: Two decades after one of the darkest days in this nation’s history, the memory is as strong as ever. We remember #September11 as if it were yesterday. And we remember every life lost. Special Agents Lenny Hatton and John O’Neill were two of those we lost that day.
Wray: And in the last few years, painful remnants of that day continue, as we’ve also sadly lost other members of our FBI family to 9/11-related illnesses. ... Each life lost is a stark reminder that the long-term effects of the recovery work after September 11 are still present.
Wray: Over the course of the past two decades, we’ve learned the full extent of the sacrifices that hundreds of first responders made in the months after the attacks. Sacrifices and lives lost that we must never—and will never—allow to be forgotten.
Wray: Because of September 11, the #FBI transformed itself in ways that have made us better able to carry out our mission... Today we are stronger, we are smarter, and we are better able to confront the threats we face now and the ones we can’t see yet.
Wray: While those threats have evolved a lot in 20 years, the men and women of the FBI—and our scores of law enforcement and intelligence #partners—have never stopped working to keep the American people safe from another attack.
