Do no mess with the Deuce.

“It’s something that is special because it showed that our country had a lot of character and was able to bounce back from that type of situation. I think people draw strength on that and us as players, and us as a country, we always remember that. It’s impacted everyone’s life and everybody remembers where they were on that day. (You try to) use it as a positive, as motivation to stay strong and to keep fighting.”
