Marking the 14th Anniversary of September 11th

Today, on the 14th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we honor the thousands who lost their lives in this devastating terrorist attack on our country. We will never forget that horrifying day; even now we still grieve for the innocent lives that were taken away or changed forever.

We must also remember the first responders who rushed into buildings to save lives. Some of them are facing health challenges to this day because of their valiant actions. I believe we should devote all resources necessary to ensure they get all the medical attention they need and certainly earned through their heroic actions.

Our thoughts and hearts are also with our military who serve us abroad and protect us here at home. The United States and our allies across the world are working every day to fight terrorism. We must continue those efforts and we must promote peace and freedom.
