President Biden Signs a Law Designating the Pulse Nightclub a National Memorial

‘We’ll never fully recover, but we’ll remember’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "But I’m glad to welcome everyone here to the adjunct to the White House here and in person and virtually, survivors and family members, victims, and the path breaking leaders like Senator Baldwin. Just over five years ago, the Pulse Nightclub, a place of acceptance and joy, became a place of unspeakable pain and loss, and will never fully recover. But we’ll remember. And we have to — what we’re going to do is what the members of Congress here did, enshrine in law, as a consequence of that law, enshrine in perpetuity literally monument to a loss that occurred there, and an absolute determination that we’re going to deal with this every single solitary day and make sure that we’re not in a position to see this happen again.”
