WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-Westchester/Rockland) today released the following statement on the 7th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.

“Today I join all Americans in remembering the men, women, and children who died seven years ago in the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil. Our pain is still fresh as we honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 who lost their lives, and their loved ones remain in our thoughts and prayers.

“The attacks of September 11th were intended to strike the heart of our country, our values, and our way of life. In the face of an adversary who prizes hatred and destruction, Americans remain united in our resolve to defeat those who would do us harm and in support of the Armed Forces, intelligence, law enforcement, and first responders who protect us at home and abroad.”
