“Today and every day, we remember and honor the sacrifice, resiliency, and the bravery of New Yorkers, our first responders, the families of those who were taken from us, and Americans across the country,” Schumer said in a post on X. In a follow-up post, the Senate Majority leader he remembered the “fear and loss” on Sept. 11, 2001, “but also the unity and strength in the face of unimaginable tragedy.”

“We will #NeverForget those we lost on 9/11 and in the years since,” Schumer wrote. “We will #NeverForget the bravery of New Yorkers and Americans nationwide.” Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana and Democratic Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan on Tuesday introduced a motion to designate the week of Sept. 11 through Sept. 17 as a “Patriot Week.”

Co-founded by Judge Michael Warren, the week is intended to honor the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, celebrates Constitution Day on Sept. 17, and encourage students to study American History. Kennedy said Patriot Week “helps us to never forget the sacrifices our brave heroes made that day to save lives, and it encourages Americans to reflect on our nation’s great history.

“I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan resolution with Sen. Peters for the sixth consecutive year, and I look forward to my colleagues’ supporting it,” Kennedy said in a statement.

“Just as we came together in those days following September 11th, this resolution encourages us to always stay unified and remember our core values as Americans, in order to address the challenges we face ahead. I continue to be thankful for Judge Warren’s efforts to help champion this important initiative each year,” Peters said.
