President Joe Biden Delivers Moving Remarks at 9/11 Memorial Ceremony: 'The Grief Was So Raw'

"I know, for all those of you who lost someone. Twenty-one years is both a lifetime and no time at all," he said in a tribute to families of 9/11 victims. "It's good to remember. These memories help us heal, but they can also open up the hurt and take us back to that moment when the grief was so raw."

“I know, for all those of you who lost someone, 21 years is both a lifetime and no time at all," the President paid tribute to the family of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy on Sunday

Recalling the attack, he discussed the "character of this nation" that the terrorist failed to change.

"The character of sacrifice and love, of generosity and grace, of strength and resilience," he shared. "We saw it in the police officers and firefighters who stood on the pile at Ground Zero for months amid that twisted steel and broken concrete slabs, breathing the toxins and ash that would damage their health, refusing -- refusing to stop the search through the destruction. They never stopped and would not."

Biden also touched on the country's effort to bring justice, paying tribute to "hundreds of thousands of American troops" who have served abroad.

"And to all our service members and their families, our veterans, our Gold Star families, all the survivors and caregivers and loved ones who have sacrificed so much for our nation: We owe you," he explained. "We owe you an incredible — an incredible debt, a debt that can never be repaid but will never fail to meet the sacred obligation to you to properly prepare and equip those that we send into harm's way and care for those and their families when they come home — and to never, ever, ever forget."

In the speech, Biden reminded the public about the killing of Osama bin Laden which took about a decade to accomplish. He also spoke about the recent successful strike this summer which he authorized on Zawahiri — Laden's former deputy who later became the leader of Al-Qaeda.

"Because we will not rest. We'll never forget. We'll never give up," he said.

Noting that the security in the country has continued to maintain its vigilance to protect the nation, he added, "We'll continue to monitor and disrupt those terrorist activities wherever we find them, wherever they exist. And we'll never hesitate to do what's necessary to defend the American people."

As he concluded his remarks, Biden expressed his admiration for the uniqueness of this country and its citizens.

"There's nothing this nation cannot accomplish when we stand together and defend with all our hearts that which makes us unique in the world: our democracy," he said. "We're not only a nation based on principles, but we are based on an idea unlike — we're the most unique nation in the world. An idea that everyone is created equal and should be treated equally throughout their lives."

"We don't always live up to it, but we've never walked away from it," he added. "That's what makes us strong. That's what makes us who we are."

Meanwhile, Jill Biden also shared her memories of 9/11 in her speech at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania while accompanied by her sister Bonny Jacobs.

Jill, 71, spoke about Jacobs who was and still is a flight attendant with United Airlines who had not just lost her colleagues but also her friends during the attack.

"9/11 touched us all — it changed us all," the first lady said. "But it reminded us that with courage and kindness we can be a light in that darkness. It showed us that we are all connected to one another."

Jill Biden shares memories of Sept. 11 as wife, sister, more

When Jill Biden realized that terrorists had attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001, her husband, Joe, wasn’t the only loved one whose safety she worried about.

Biden recalled being “scared to death” that her sister Bonny Jacobs, a United Airlines flight attendant, was on one of the four hijacked airplanes that were flown into New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killing nearly 3,000 people.

After learning that her sister was safe at her Pennsylvania home, “I went straight to Bonny’s house,” Biden told The Associated Press on Saturday as she and her sister remembered that day.

On Sunday, Jill Biden, now the first lady, will mark the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by delivering remarks at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania — accompanied by Jacobs.

The 40 passengers and crew aboard that United Airlines flight fought back against their hijackers, thwarting a feared attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
