Congresswoman Virginia Foxx today released the following statement marking the seventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks:

“Today we mark the anniversary of a vicious and unprovoked attack on our country and on our freedom.

The Pentagon Memorial to 9/11 victims, which was dedicated today, on the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

 “More importantly, we remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.  We mourn with the families, the friends and the communities affected by the events of this tragic day. 

“On that September day the American spirit shone through like on few other days in our history.  Thousands of heroes made unimaginable sacrifices and unwavering bravery marked the response of those who rescued the victims, those who fought back against tyranny and those who rebuilt shattered lives.

“My prayers go with the many who lost family and friends seven years ago.  And my prayers and gratitude are with the brave men and women of our armed services who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the campaign to bring the perpetrators to justice.  May we never forget the sacrifices that have been made.”
