Obama Visits Ground Zero, Firefighters

HeadlineMay 06, 2011

President Obama visited New York City on Thursday to pay tribute to 9/11 victims in the aftermath of Osama bin Laden’s death. Obama took part in a ceremony at Ground Zero and met with a group of firefighters who lost 15 members on 9/11.

President Obama: “It’s some comfort, I hope, to all of you to know that when those guys took those extraordinary risks going into Pakistan, that they were doing it, in part, because of the sacrifices that were made in this state. They were doing it in the name of your brothers that were lost.”
