“Today, on the one year anniversary of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, we remember the hundreds of thousands who lost their lives and the millions still struggling to regain normalcy. Throughout this tragedy, the people of Haiti have proven how much compassion and unity can help a nation overcome such devastation. And although the United States and the international community as a whole have rallied to support the people of Haiti, much work remains to be done.
