This month we remember all those who were taken from us that terrible morning of September 11, 2001. We also remember the courage and bravery demonstrated by thousands of volunteers and first responders.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll personally never forget reading that more than 57,000 Red Crossers<\/strong> from across the country served more than 14 million meals and snacks<\/strong>, opened dozens of shelters<\/strong> for people who were left stranded, and connected some 374,000 times with people<\/strong> to provide emotional support and health services.<\/p>\n

Over several years, billions of dollars were contributed<\/strong> to fund massive relief and recovery efforts, helping tens of thousands of families impacted by the terrorist attacks and our nation as it worked to rebuild. The solidarity felt around the world was so palpable that it still moves me to tears.<\/p>\n

What we witnessed together was the enduring power of hope. A few years ago, as we responded to local disasters, I memorized one of the most beautiful and beloved poems by Emily Dickenson, \u201cHope is the thing with feathers<\/strong>.\u201d I repeat it quite often as it helps remind me that hope persists, regardless of the circumstances. It is a force of impressive power and something that each of you, through your acts of courage and generosity, continues to bring to our shared world.<\/p>\n

Em solidariedade,<\/p>\n
