The measure, the Twentieth Anniversary of Remembrance for the Victims of the Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 Day, passed unanimously. “Twenty years ago, tragedy struck over Lockerbie, Scotland. Hundreds of families from New Jersey, across the country, and around the world lost a loved one that awful day. Today, we honor their memory and vow to continue to do everything in our power to bring all who commit terrorist acts against innocent Americans to justice,” said Sen. Lautenberg. “The passing years have not diminished the sorrow or the pain of this great tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the Pan Am 103 victims today, as they have been for two decades. The bombing over Lockerbie cut short the lives of so many, including 35 Syracuse University students, and we honor their memory with this resolution,” Sen. Clinton said. # # #
