I'll crack open a cold one for him today. Be proud of him, he's a good guy.
Thanks, I feel like I should buy him a six pack or do something for him.. whatever it is, it won't feel like enough.

I bet that made you feel so involved huh? Glad you are doing your part
That's not necessary, it's natural for us to feel a connection to a tragedy like this. Even if it's something as trivial as visiting the same city 10 years ago, or whatever. He's not trying to make it about him, he's simply expressing a connection he feels. It also puts into perspective how vast the impact of this tragedy was, the people attending this event were coming from all across the country, and some of them were even from out of country.
