FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) today issued the following statement after the House of Representatives passed a resolution remembering the terrorist attacks of 9/11, while also reaffirming America’s resolve in the global war on terror: “The horrific attacks on 9/11 were an assault on the American way of life and the very idea of freedom. While these attacks were intended to spread fear and cripple our nation, they had the reverse effect and only strengthened our nation with a determination to eradicate terrorism and the murderous ideology of a warped version of Islam these terrorists follow. To the families and friends of those who fell on September 11th, America remains united in ensuring your sacrifices and those of your loved ones, were not made in vain. This resolution also exemplifies the determination of our government to stand strong and continue the fight against terrorism. As President Bush said, ‘we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail,’ this Congress will continue to bring the battle to the terrorists, so we will never again see our homeland under attack, and we will always defend the principles of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.” ### |
