[bell ringing] [moment of silence] [reading names] [reading names] [reading names] [reading names] [reading names] [reading names] [reading names] and my mother, frances, today we remember and honor the victims of the families of 911. Among those who perished were 450 firemen, policemen and military First Responders. On that day there was no black, there was no white. For all those fallen heroes, all lives mattered. And now we witness the same heroism in those who sacrificed to help the victims of both hurricanes. There was no left, there was no right. For them, all lives matter. Some ask why does god permit evil . We may never know, but through eyes of faith we can be certain that good can triumph over evil. For just as jesus said, whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me. Herein lies our unity, herein lies the hope of the nation. Happy anniversary, mom, we ask you to watch over will, your youngest grandson enlisted in the military and will be reporting for duty next week. [applaus [applause] and my sister, we love you.
