Conaway Remarks on the Sixth Anniversary of the September 11th Attacks

Today, Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX) made the following statement marking the sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on our nation:

"Today marks the Sixth Anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. On that fateful Tuesday morning, America awoke to scenes of unimaginable horror and the reality of an uncertain future in a forever changed world. We, as a country, lost our innocence and realized the ruthless brutality of those who wish to eradicate our freedoms and endanger our lives. Yet while the horror and sorrow tested our spirits and strength, the morning of September 11th also united a patriotic America with the zeal and dedication not seen since the days after the Pearl Harbor attack.

"On this sixth anniversary of 9/11 we must remember the innocent Americans who lost their lives, the heroic first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice in order help others, and our men and women in uniform who risk their lives everyday for our freedom. Let us remember the patriotism and unity we felt on September 11th in the days ahead and continue to fight against Islamic jihadists and hate in memory of that dark and horrifying Tuesday morning that changed our lives forever."
