‘SERVE’: FBI leader issues CALL TO ACTION on 9/11

IT WAS A MOMENT THAT CHANGED. THIS COUNTRY FOREVER. >> IT STILL GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS. TO THINK ABOUT IT. KRIS REYES IS STILL WITH US, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI. I KNOW YOU WERE THE COAST GUARD. AT THE TIME. ON THAT MOMENT, ON THAT DAY, DID. YOU THINK YOU COULD SPEND A LIFE. OF SERVICE LIKE THIS AND END UP. AS THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE. FBI WITH THIS RESPONSIBILITY. THAT YOU HAVE, AS THE PRESIDENT. SAID, WE WILL PROTECT THE NATION. FOR THIS GENERATION AND.

GENERATIONS TO COME. >> I WAS FAIRLY CONFIDENT AT. THAT POINT OF MY LIFE THAT I. WOULD SPEND A LIFE OF SERVICE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WOULD ONE. DAY BE THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF. THE FBI. OBVIOUSLY THIS MOMENT IS SURREAL. FOR ME. [BELL TOLLING].

Thomas Warren Hohlweck, Jr. Jonathan R. Hohmann. Cora Hidalgo Holland. John Holland. Joseph F. Holland. Jimmie I. Holley. Elizabeth Holmes. Thomas P. Holohan. Herbert Wilson Homer. LeRoy W. Homer, Jr. Bradley V. Hoorn.

James P. Hopper. >> AND MY MOTHER, HIGH, MOM. I'VE ONLY SPOKEN TO YOU ALONE. BEFORE. TODAY IS THE FIRST TIME I'M. SPEAKING TO YOU IN FRONT OF. EVERYONE ELSE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MUCH ABOUT. WHO YOU WERE, HOW YOU GAVE GREAT. SKINCARE ADVICE, YOUR STYLE, YOUR LOVE OF FRENCH BERETS AND. YOUR TALENT FOR NOTICING SMALL.

THINGS IN PEOPLE. YOU MADE EVERY ONE NO MATTER WHO. THEY WERE FEEL SEEN, AND YOU SAW. ME LONG BEFORE I WAS EVEN HERE. YOU DREAMED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR ME. AND YOU ONLY GOT EIGHT MONTHS OF. IT. THE MOM WHO RAISED ME GOT THE. REST BUT SHE NEVER MADE ME FEEL. LIKE LOVING YOU TOO WAS A. BETRAYAL. I THINK YOU WOULD BE GLAD SHE. WAS THE WOMAN THAT RAISED ME.

I AM. PEOPLE SAY I HAVE YOUR FACE, YOUR SMILE, YOUR DIMPLES BUT I. HOPE I CARRY MORE THAN THAT. THE HUMOR, THE ENERGY AND THE. KINDNESS THAT YOU CONTINUALLY. POURED INTO OTHERS. IT HAS BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE NINE. OVER 11, 25 YEARS OF HEARING. OTHER PEOPLE. AND I HOPE ALL THESE YEARS. LATER, YOU SEE SOME OF YOURSELF. IN ME AS WELL. >> AND MY BROTHER, LEOBARDO.

LOPEZ PASCUAL. IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS SINCE OUR. LIVES AND MANY OTHERS CHANGED. FOREVER. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD. THAT CAN HEAL LOSING A FAMILY. MEMBER. I WISH HE WAS HERE THROUGHOUT. THE YEARS TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF. THE MOMENTS HE MISSED. THE YEARS HAVE PASSED BUT TIME. WILL NEVER ERASE HIS MEMORIES. THE HOPES AND DREAMS CACTUS. SACRIFICES HE MADE FOR HIS.

CHILDREN AND FAMILY. HE MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES. BELIEVING IN THE PROMISE OF A. BETTER LIFE, NEVER KNOWING THAT. IT WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY ON. SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001.

2001 [SPEAKING. ANOTHER LANGUAGE].

>> WE LOVE YOU FOREVER, BROTHER. AND WE WILL NEVER MISS YOU. >> I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE. THINGS. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT WE ARE. 100% PROTECTED ON A MASS. DIRECTED ATTACK LIKE WE SAW ON. NINE OVER 11 BUT WE ARE IN A. MUCH BETTER POSTURE NOW THAN WE. WERE. THE ARTIFICIAL WALL IS DOWN. WE ARE SHARING INFORMATION MORE. THAN WE EVER HAVE IN MY 23 YEARS.

HERE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE. NOT ONLY WITH NYPD BUT OTHER. STATE, LOCAL, AND FEDERAL. PARTNERS ARE LIKE I HAVE NEVER. SEEN. THE CONCERNING THING IS. OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE'VE SEEN A LOT. OF LATELY, THE LONE OFFENDER, TYPICALLY TARGETING SOFT TARGETS. LIKE WE SAW IN NEW ORLEANS OR. LIKE WE SAW HERE AT THE PARADE A. FEW MONTHS AGO. THEY HAVE ACCESS TO EASILY. ACCESSIBLE WEAPONS, GUNS, WIVES. -- GUNS, KNIVES AND VEHICLES. THEY GET RADICALIZED FROM THE.

COMFORTS OF THEIR OWN HOME. A LOT OF THESE FOLKS DON'T EVEN. HAVE TO MEET FACE-TO-FACE WITH A. LIVE TERRORIST AS SOMEONE WHO'S. BEEN DOING INVESTIGATION FOR 23. YEARS, I WILL TELL YOU, THOSE. TYPES OF CASES ARE VERY HARD TO. DETECT. >> THEY ARE HARD TO PREVENT. A LAST QUESTION FOR YOU, FOR. YOUNG PEOPLE THAT MIGHT BE. WATCHING TODAY. THEY WEREN'T ALIVE ON NINE OVER. 11. IF THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT. THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEIR. LIVES, WHAT SHOULD THEY. CONSIDER, LAW ENFORCEMENT, MAYBE. EVEN THE FBI. >> FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THE. SINGLE GREATEST THING YOU CAN DO. FOR YOUR COUNTRY, THIS COUNTRY.

HAS GIVEN ALL OF US SO MUCH TO. BE THANKFUL FOR. THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING. YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY IS. SERVE YOUR COUNTRY, WHETHER. THAT'S IN THE MILITARY, WHETHER. THAT'S IN THE GOVERNMENT OR. WHETHER THAT'S WITH US WITH THE. FBI DIRECTOR PATEL WILL TELL. YOU, WE ARE HIRING. WE'RE LOOKING FOR QUALIFIED. CANDIDATES FOR COME ON BOARD A.
