U.S. Representative Glenn "GT" Thompson today is marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pa. where he will honor the 40 passengers and crew of Flight 93 who paid the ultimate sacrifice to prevent an attack on the U.S. Capitol. He issued the following statement on this solemn anniversary:

"On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, a day that forever changed our world, let us reflect on the gift of life so tragically lost at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and a field in Shanksville, Pa. Let us honor the memory of every American who perished on that fateful day. Their legacies will be forever intertwined with the strength and courage that define our great country. We will never forget. Not 20 years later; Not ever. May God continue to watch over our first responders, our men and women in uniform, and all those who keep us safe."
