“Today marks the 12th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on our great Nation. Though on that day cowardly terrorists hijacked the Islamic religion and used it to justify their murderous acts, what we will remember most is America's strength and resolve. In the aftermath, Americans of all backgrounds and faiths united as one. Servicemembers and first responders ran toward--not away from--the wreckage.

Mr. Speaker, as we witness the construction of One World Trade Center, we see more than a building rise up through the New York City skyline.

So today, and every day, we stand tall as Americans as we vow never to forget. ____________________”
