KING REFLECTS ON THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11
PELLA - U.S. Congressman Steve King today released the following statement regarding the fourth anniversary of the tragedies of September 11, 2001:
"It's been four years since the devastating and sickening terrorist attacks burned a permanent mark on this country. Time will always go on, but hopefully Americans will never forget what 9/11 meant to our country. The pain felt by the families and friends of over 3,000 victims will never go away and neither will our duty to honor those who gave their lives. We are more cautious, more sensitive and more aware of our blessings, but we are stronger than ever. Terrorists will never break the unity and pride shared by Americans.
We should all take this anniversary to reflect on what those victims and families gave for our country. We should take this day to remember every single one of our troops in the Middle East, who volunteer to keep this nation safe and keep it the greatest nation. This anniversary shows us the meaning of vigilance in the War on Terror; our goal is and always has been to eliminate those that exist to harm Americans, so this country never has to endure an event like that day ever again. May God Bless America."
