Meehan Statement on Anniversary of 9/11 Terrorist Attacks

Tuesday September 11, 2012

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan (PA-07), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, today issued the following statement regarding the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks:

“Today marks 11 years since the September 11th attacks on our country. It is my hope that not just on the anniversary of 9/11, but every day, we will remember the innocent lives lost - and their loved ones who were left without fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters.

“We should make a special remembrance of the first responders, the passengers of Flight 93, and all the heroes who ran in to danger so that others might live. They have the eternal thanks of a grateful nation.

“In the 11 years since 9/11, we have made great progress. Today we are safer and that credit is due largely to our law enforcement, first responders, military and intelligence community who tirelessly work to secure our great nation. And although we are safer, the threat of terrorism remains. We must be vigilant and never become complacent.”
