On the recordDecember 21, 2022
As Congressional District lines shift in January, I am saddened by the fact that I will no longer have the honor of representing the Shanksville and Stoystown communities in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, the place where 40 heroes lost their lives while attempting to stop the September 11 terrorist attacks aboard United Flight 93. In the weeks that followed, I took my family to that crash site to pay our respects and to say a prayer for those who had given their lives to save other lives. The Shanksville and Stoystown communities have the burden and the honor of keeping that legacy for those 40 heroes alive. National Park Service Director Steve Clark has done an incredible job to make the memorial a place of remembrance, and I look forward to continuing to work with him as he oversees the September 11th National Memorial Trail. The Flight 93 National Memorial is a fitting tribute to the passengers and crew who died on that September morning with the knowledge that their deaths would ultimately save others' lives. National Park Service Director Steve Clark and his entire team at the Flight 93 National Memorial have done an incredible job to maintain and preserve this site. On behalf of the individuals from Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I say thank you for that service. I say thank you for preserving the memories of all those fallen heroes from the Flight 93 National Memorial. ____________________
