Quotes from Gracie Mansion
and Mayor Rudy Giuliani: "Today and tomorrow, as we
remember the fallen heroes who have lost their lives in defense of our democracy....the
heroes who served the people of this country...The noble act of saving human lives is the
highest demonstration of love. This kind of concern for the safety and well-being of
others, this is type of behavior that unites a city."
