United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) issued the following statement regarding the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) issued the following statement regarding the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks: “Today we recognize the fourth anniversary of a fateful September morning when terrorists brutally attacked our nation and took the lives of over 3,000 innocent Americans. Today is very important because it reminds us to remember and honor those who lost their lives and to pray for their loved ones. It reminds us to give thanks to the hundreds of firefighters, police and emergency personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice while striving to rescue their fellow Americans. And it reminds us to support our brave troops who are steadfastly fighting the War on Terror to ensure that nothing like this ever happens to our country again. “The terrorists who waged war on America on September 11th sought not only to take lives and crumble towers -- they sought to kill the American spirit. And I am proud to say they failed their mission. September 11th united our country in a way I had not witnessed before. Americans are determined to stand up to the terrorists’ bullying and protect our freedoms for future generations. During the past four years, we have made great progress. We have captured terrorists, destroyed their safe havens and brought freedom and democracy to many oppressed people. “Yet, while conditions have gotten much better over the last four years, we cannot grow complacent and we cannot ever forget the lessons we learned on that September morning. The terrorists are evil and they will never give up their fight to bring down our way of life. America is strong, and as long as we maintain our resolve, we will prevail. “May God bless the families of the victims of the September 11th and may God bless America.” ### |
