New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill this week requiring public schools to hold a moment of silence on Sept. 11 each year in memory of the thousands of lives lost in the terror attacks in 2001.
“9/11 was one of the single darkest periods in our nation’s history, and we owe it to those we lost to keep their memory alive. Today I signed legislation establishing an annual day of remembrance and a moment of silence in public schools to ensure we never forget,” Cuomo said in a statement.
