On the recordDecember 13, 2001
On September 11, our Nation and the world was struck with tragedy. But for 81 families in the district that I represent in New Jersey, it also meant the loss of a loved one in their own family. They have been struggling for 3 months to put their lives back together. People, Americans across the Nation and people around the world have stepped up to help them in many different ways: People have donated their time, their energy, their blood, their money. They have been assisted in many ways. But as we know, as time goes on, the attention begins to wane and the realities of life, of mortgage payments, of credit card payments, of tuition bills and other commitments, long-term real-life commitments, begin to build up. We have to make sure that we do not forget those who have experienced this tragedy firsthand.
