“What we saw happen to our country 1 year ago today will be forever etched in our memories. Several of our colleagues have taken time here on the floor today to reflect on that horrible day. Though our Nation was wounded deeply that day, we learned a great deal about ourselves--and that has made our country stronger. The courage of the first responders, the valor of the passengers on flight 93, the strength of the families of the victims, the character of our armed forces, and the generosity of Americans from each and every State in the Union have shown to terrorists, and to the world, that America is strong and will not bow to terror. H. Con. Res. 464 is a small tribute to each of these heroes. It spells out, in broad bipartisan fashion, Congress's memory for lost loved ones, our deep admiration for the families of these innocent victims, our respect for the work of our first responders and armed forces, and our resolve to find and bring to justice those responsible for the attacks.”
