REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
"This week marks six years since the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is an important week and for many of our fellow Americans it is a painful anniversary of the death of a loved one. It is important that all of us recognize this day, whether by attending a local gathering or simply pausing for a moment in honor of the people who died in the attacks.
"Thankfully we have not experienced another attack since that day, although many of our allies have experienced terrorist attacks. They serve as a reminder that our enemies are global and continue to plan for future destruction.
"In the field, our troops continue to perform with the highest levels of professionalism and courage. As always, my thoughts and prayers are with our troops and their families who must bear the burden of their absence."
-Rep. Ken Calvert
