New York paused for moments of silence at 8:46 a.m. EST and again seventeen minutes later on Monday to commemorate the six-month anniversary of the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people.

"I think they would have wanted us to make a better world. They would have wanted us to show the terrorists that they cannot defeat us.

"Men with no respect for life must never be allowed to control the ultimate instruments of death," he added.
