When We Say We Will Never Forget, We Mean What We Say

Speaking at a New York City firehouse that lost 15 men on Sept. 11, 2001, President Obama said just a short time ago that this week's killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden shows that:

"When we say we will never forget, we mean what we say."

The president has paid his tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks, The Associated Press reports:

"President Barack Obama has laid a wreath at the site of the collapsed Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. ... The stop was the culmination of a New York visit in the wake of the U.S. commando raid in Pakistan that killed terror mastermind Osama bin Laden. ... He also laid a wreath at the foot of the Survivor Tree, which sustained damage during the attack but was freed from the rubble."
