  4. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens and those other brave Americans whose lives were taken yesterday while serving our country in Benghazi, Libya.

  8. REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: As we join with our fellow Virginians and Americans this week, we solemnly remember the tragic events that took place now eleven years ago on September 11th, 2001 and those innocent Americans and heroes whose lives were needlessly lost. We will never forget those who are no longer with us as a result of that day; those who lost their lives in New York City’s twin towers, in a Pennsylvania field, and in Virginia, just south of our nation’s capital. And we will always remember the heroic actions of the first responders and all of those who bravely and selflessly sacrificed to help those in need.

    the resilience of the American people lives on, unshaken by those senseless act of terror. America may have been changed forever on that horrific day eleven years ago, but Americans across the 5th District and across this country remain the same; we remain a people committed to our democracy and to the freedoms afforded by it.
