"I addressed the roll call in the 103 as I did again tonight, 20 years later, to pay tribute to this brave young man who gave his life protecting this city. To say again that his short, young life meant something. That Eddie Byrne counted. He mattered. Just like every one of you count. Like every one of you matter every time you put on that uniform. . . . You matter because you are the guardians at the gate. Like Eddie Byrne, whose life and death still has meaning."
