Text, Audio, Video of Address

 

"There is not a person here, there is not an empty chair on that stage that didn't tweet out, 'Never forget' the heroes of 9/11; never forget their bravery; never forget what they did, what they gave to this country."

"Well here they are!"

"No American in this country should face financial ruin because of a...health issue, certainly 9/11 first responders shouldn't have to decide whether to live or to have a place to live."

"These men and women, and their response to [9/11], is what brought our country back. It's what gave a reeling nation a solid foundation to stand back upon, to remind us of why this country is great, of why this country is worth fighting for."
