He found it difficult to form the type of close, family-like friendships he and his Windows on the World co-workers had shared. So much so that federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, which were reshaped to focus on international terrorism after 9/11, now see the threat of domestic violent extremism as equally urgent. In ways both subtle and plain, the aftermath of 9/11 ripples through American politics and public life to this day.

And it falls to us to keep it safe on behalf of all those we lost 21 years ago, on behalf of all those who have given their whole souls to the cause of this nation every day since. And may God honor the members of the military we lost and all those we lost here on 9/11. And that is what we owe future generations of Americans to come. 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. They will feel the connection that will come to pass on September 11, 2001, and how our country was forever changed. Because on this day, it is not about the past, it’s about the future. To me, that’s the greatest lesson of September 11. But what we did change — what we will not change, what we cannot change, never will, is the character of this nation that the terrorists thought they could wound. We’ll continue to monitor and disrupt those terrorist activities wherever we find them, wherever they exist. Think of all of your loved ones, particularly those on that flight — ordinary citizens who said, “We will not let this stand,” who risked and lost their lives so even more people would not die. They raced into the breach between the fourth and fifth corridors. Twenty-one years ago — twenty-one years, and still we kept our promise: Never Forget.

The pandemic changed the way we think about work and life. - During the attacks, firefighters, police officers and everyday Americans did their part to help. New York City was once again the epicenter of a terrible disaster. We’ll need to be strong, brave and pull together. The acts of terror made us feel vulnerable, afraid and concerned for our safety. We persevered with our lives and did not give in to those who wanted to destroy us. We must change our mindset about work and life and conclude that there will always be tough times ahead. The hijackers crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and one plane plowed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 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." Sadly, we learned about the fate of those trapped inside the buildings. Many thought they found shelter at a friend’s house or were in a hospital being attended to. For a brief moment in time, everyone banded together to get through this horrendous event.

On the Tuesday morning of 9/11, Boudreau’s wife, Crystal, phoned him and told him to turn on the TV as a tragedy was unfolding. Just like when he was a player, he was the big protector of me. He lived in Boston, he was coming up and watching our games all the time. Boudreau and Bailey had become close friends when he coached for the Lowell Lock Monsters before the team moved to Manchester, New Hamshire. time that morning on the 11th to the end of the day, how it went. And you just keep thinking of the thoughts that went through your head at that time.

For many of us who follow the National Hockey League, long time head coach Bruce Boudreau has long been one of the more loveable characters in the game.

Boudreau was, at the time, working in the Los Angeles Kings organization as the head coach of the Manchester Monarchs and it was his role with that team that would prove to be his saving grace. As many of you know Garnet "Ace" Bailey and Mark Davis were both working as scouts for the Kings' organization at the time and as neither of them were coaches, there was no need for them to attend the coaches' dinner. Boudreau can often be found with a big smile on his face and is known to simply be one of the truly nice guys in the sport, and it's crazy to think that we nearly lost him before his career as a head coach ever got underway.
