Rep. Budd Statement on 9/11 Anniversary
Washington,
September 11, 2019
Washington, D.C.- U.S. Representative Ted Budd (NC-13) released the following statement to honor the 18th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001:
"After 18 years, it is important to revisit what we really mean when we say Never Forget. Of course we will never forget the fear that gripped our hearts, the horror that shook us to our core, the sorrow that filled our souls. But we must also hold in our memories the heroes who stormed into burning buildings to save people they had never met. The airline passengers who decided to say 'let’s roll' and sacrifice their lives in order to spare our Capital City. We must never forget the heroes among us. September 11, 2001 changed us forever, but it also revealed something profound about our country: That we are fundamentally strong and resilient. Every year on 9/11, I never forget those simple truths, and I hope my fellow citizens will do the same. May God continue to Bless America." |
