    Tuesday
    Today we remember the tragedy of 9/11 and all those who lost their lives, their friends, and their loved ones. Today we reflect upon that fateful September morning 11 years ago, when the lives of all Americans changed forever. And today, we renew our vow to never forget.

    On that morning, radical terrorists attacked our country. It was an unparalleled act of evil intended to break our spirit, bu...
    t our spirit was too strong, and we responded. On that day, Americans faced an unspeakable tragedy, but we faced it as one nation—united. Undoubtedly, this day signifies the strength of our resolve, and the necessity of sustained vigilance. We are a grateful and benevolent nation that continues to pray for God’s guidance and protection, and in our hearts we shall never forget the memory of those we have lost on that painful day.

    The national debt has now topped $16 trillion. For the sake of our children, grandchildren, and future generations of Americans, it’s past time that both parties commit to addressing this threat head-on.

    For all the parades, picnics, and outdoor events, it’s easy to lose sight of Labor Day’s true meaning. Ultimately, Labor Day represents our ability to work together, face our problems head on, and accomplish something great. We built this great Nation through the hard work of our people, after all. And with that in mind, I would like to wish you and your family a wonderful Labor Day.

    Overregulation threatens our economic viability. Recently, we learned that two power plants in Hoyt Lakes and Taconite Harbor are threatened with closure. Never mind these two operations employ eighty Eighth District workers, this is the kind of ideological-driven limitation on commerce that hurts our economic growth. Now is not the time to pick winners and losers.

    Iron Range Veterans Memorial Dedication (4 photos)
    With the deepest respect for what our men and women in uniform stand for, it is right that we recognize them, thank them, and honor them. The awe-inspiring representation of gratitude to Iron Range veterans - past and present - would not be possible without the commitment of Tom Berrigan and the Iron Range Veterans Memorial Committee.
