Statement on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11

Statement

Date: Sept. 9, 2011
Location: Washington, DC

"On September 11th our thoughts go to the horrific attacks of ten years ago. We honor the memory of all those who were lost on that day and in years since in pursuit of justice and freedom. And we continue to support their families and loved ones.

I was in Washington, DC when terrorists struck. The morning was filled with concern, confusion, anxiety, and anguish. But later in the day, I returned to the Capitol and stood on the steps with my fellow lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans together. Hand in hand, we sang "God Bless America" with one voice.

On this anniversary, let us remember 9/11 by coming together with a renewed sense of unity and purpose for the safety, security, and success of our people and our nation."
