During that period, it seemed like everywhere you turned, you saw an American flag. As a nation, we were willing to set aside our differences to mourn our losses and work together to defeat those who threaten our way of life,” Senator Lautenberg said in a news release. “I believe the national Moment of Remembrance can help us recapture that spirit of unity, and remind everyone how strong we are when we stand together.” <br /> <br />The resolution consists of a detailed timeline of the events of Sept. 11, including the times that the planes struck the Twin Towers, the number of victims killed, how emergency personnel rushed into the buildings to save lives and how the war on terror continues. <br /> <br />“We thought that was important to join the rest of the country in a symbolic gesture to honor the lives that were lost that day,” Taylor said. <br /> <br />In addition to recognizing the nearly 3,000 people who were killed on Sept. 11, the resolution specifically distinguishes the 343 members of the New York City Fire Department who were killed, 37 Port Authority Police officers and commanders who died and the 23 New York City Police officer that died. These emergency responders were recognized for their, “heroic service, actions, and sacrifices,” according to the resolution. <br /> <br />“I really feel for the people,” Taylor said. “It’s still a raw emotion knowing you lost colleagues. They didn’t start the day as heroes but many ended the day that way.”</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
