(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter today issued the following statement remembering the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. “We pause today to remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and the lives that were taken on that day. The memories of the terrorist attacks in New York, at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, remain with us. “The years have not dulled our memories and the distance of time cannot fully heal the hearts of those who lost their beloved family members, co-workers and friends. Today we honor those who were lost on that day and pray for those that they left behind. And we pay tribute to the courage of those Americans who fought so bravely to save the lives of others. “In the seven years that have passed, America and her allies have pursued Al-Qaeda throughout the shadows of the world, and we as Americans have come to stand strong in the face of terrorism. We must also remember that the long fight against terrorism continues, and our resolve and vigilance as a nation must continue to hold firm for many years to come,” said Vitter. |
