A Time to Remember
from the Office of Senator Mitch McConnell
Thursday, September 11, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C.— U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor Thursday regarding the anniversary of 9/11:
“The horror of September 11, 2001, is still very fresh in our minds. This day will always be a sad one for Americans.
“It also has become a day of solemn pride as we remember the tremendous heroism and self-sacrifice of so many in New York, at the Pentagon, and on a plane over Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
“Later this morning the Senate will take time to remember, and it’s fitting that we do so.
“It’s fitting that we should pause as a body — and as a nation — to remember the victims and their families, as well as the heroes, and to remind ourselves of the dangers that we still face.”
