Political Quotes

“I am very honored to be a cosponsor of this resolution along with the gentlewoman from Texas. Together we cochair the Congressional Children's Caucus. We had a series of briefings on this terrible tragedy, because in scenes worse than a horror movie, Americans witnessed the hijacked planes slam into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and fall to the ground in Pittsburgh; and in the blink of an eye thousands of lives were snatched and Americans lost our sense of safety. These acts of terror tested the courage and the strength of Americans, but it helped us to grow stronger and more united. Today we are pulling together to rebuild our Nation and working toward a heightened sense of security. But as we restore our lives, we must not forget the children who lost a parent or a guardian in the September 11 attacks. For millions who watched the carnage, the harrowing images will be imprinted forever in our memory. But for the children who lost a parent in this catastrophic act of terror, their lives will never be the same again.”
