U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) issued the following statement on the 16th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
"Sixteen years ago, our nation was forever changed-- a loss and hurt we will never forget. We honor the American heroes who lost their lives that day, and we stand with the families of the fallen as one America--a united nation whose spirit will never be broken by evil," Blumenthal said.
