He came to honor the memory of two friends he lost that day—Chandler Raymond Keller, a passenger on Flight 77, and Jeannine Marie Damiani-Jones, who was in the North Tower. As a community, we pause to honor their memory, to stand with those who still carry the weight of loss, and to reaffirm our promise: we will never forget🇺🇸 #NeverForget #WeRemember #911Tribute
