RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER 11 AS A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE -- (House of Representatives - September 10, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HARE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the victims and the heroes of September 11. To the families, I offer my deepest sympathies for your loss. I would also like to salute the first responders who bravely sacrificed their lives.

The attacks of September 11 were a wake-up call for all of our Nation. Never before had our vulnerability to attack been so apparent.

Today, as we continue to rebuild, we stand united in our resolve to protect this Nation from further threats. This new Democratic majority implemented the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, a critical step towards ensuring the security and safety of the American people. May all of us pause in our own way to remember the sacrifices of so many of our fellow Americans, and may God always hold each and every one of them in arms of love.
