Political Quotes

“In the 3 years since 19 terrorists hijacked 4 planes and changed the course of American history, we have learned much about our vulnerabilities, our strengths, and the steps we must take to protect ourselves. Tomorrow, America will remember the images of the Twin Towers collapsing, of terrified office workers jumping to their deaths, of brave New York City firefighters rushing into those burning buildings to save people trapped inside, of soot-covered men and women streaming out into the streets dazed and overcome. We will remember the shock of learning that a third plane had smashed into the Pentagon, and a fourth was possibly headed to the White House or the Capitol. We will remember our sense of helplessness, our horror, and our utter disbelief as the terrible events occurred that bright morning, a morning not too dissimilar to today. In our grief on our day of national mourning, let us also recall our unity and those words of Todd Beamer to his fellow passengers on flight 93: Let's roll. The highest priority of the Senate is to protect the safety and security of the American people.”
