Obama Visits Ground Zero, Firefighters 
---------------------------------------



President Obama visited New York City on Thursday to pay tribute to 9/11
victims in the aftermath of Osama bin Laden's death. Obama took part in
a ceremony at Ground Zero and met with a group of firefighters who lost
15 members on 9/11.

President Obama: "It's some comfort, I hope, to all of you to know that
when those guys took those extraordinary risks going into Pakistan, that
they were doing it, in part, because of the sacrifices that were made in
this state. They were doing it in the names of your brothers that were
lost."
