".@PANYNJ Thank you for your letter of condolences and sending us the flag that was flown over the Word Trade Center the night of July 7, 2016," read the message.
The Port Authority of New York and New jersey Port Authority Police Department, which watches over the bridges and tunnels connecting New York and New Jersey sent a certificate along with the flag.
