Political Quotes

“I rise today, on the 24th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, to remember the innocent lives we lost. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 flew into Tower One of the World Trade Center. Not long after, Flight 175 struck Tower Two. While Americans around the country were grappling with the news, a third plane, Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon. In southwest Pennsylvania, the fourth flight, United 93, was hijacked and made an abrupt turn toward Washington, D.C., but because of the brave passengers and crewmembers, it crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In the days, weeks, months, and now more than two decades that followed September 11, our country joined together to face the very evil that tried to take us down. While today's world has grown no less dangerous and we continue to grapple with evil, Americans are resilient. May God continue to watch over our first responders, our men and women in uniform, and all those who keep us safe.”
