Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement in remembrance of the September 11, 2001 victims:
"The horrific acts of terrorism that occurred in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania 13 years ago today gave way to some of the most inspiring acts of heroism in our nation's history. We will never forget the victims of 9/11 and the Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life who joined in these heroic efforts, many of whom sacrificed their own lives to save the lives of others. Today, as we remember those we lost and pray for their families and loved ones, let us also reflect on the courage of all those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our citizens and our men and women in uniform who honorably serve to defend our nation."
