“That attack represented the worst that humanity has to offer, but the response to that attack — whether it was the office workers in the World Trade Center who were scurrying their coworkers out of the building to safety, whether it was members of the FDNY, the Port Authority or NYPD who ran into the burning towers knowing the risk that entailed to save others’ lives and in the process, many of them gave their own lives, whether it’s the passengers on United Flight 93 who knew what was happening, who knew that if they were to stop it, that would mean that they were not going to survive that flight, but yet realized that if they let the flight continue, you could have hundreds, maybe thousands more people killed, and they were not going to let that happen on their watch — what they did that day, across the board, represented the best of what humanity and America has to offer and we’ll never forget the sacrifices that those folks made,” DeSantis said.
