Today marks 24 years since the terrorist attacks of September 11th. John Knox, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for @ASPRgov — and a former firefighter who served at Ground Zero — reflects on the courage of first responders, the families who carry the loss, and the duty we share to always be prepared. On behalf of @SecKennedy and all of us at HHS: We honor the sacrifice. We stand by the families. And we will never forget.
