“Mr. Speaker, with all of the bills we have considered relating to the events of September 11 of last year, we would like to first say our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to those affected by the events of that awful day. While we as a Nation have attempted to go on with our lives, the tragedy and loss of that day will never be forgotten or taken out of our hearts and minds. The scope and severity of that terrible tragedy make it difficult to know how best to memorialize those who were lost, but the legislation of the gentleman from Pennsylvania focuses on memorializing the heroism of those aboard United Flight 93 and the tragedy of their loss. These are the events which mostly affected the families he represents, and we fully support this legislation.”
