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

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. LOWEY. I thank the chairman.

Six years after the worst tragedy in our Nation's history, the pain that we all feel is still fresh. We remember the victims of this senseless attack, the parents, the siblings, spouses, children, friends, neighbors and coworkers, who lost their lives on September 11 for no reason other than an ideology of hatred directed at our country, at our values and our way of life.

We hold a special place in our hearts for the men, women and children that died that day. The victims' friends and families are in our thoughts and prayers that they may find comfort by focusing on the blessings of the lives of the victims rather than on the tragedy of their deaths.

In Congress and in the administration, it is our solemn duty to honor those who died on September 11 by implementing the policies, both at home and abroad, that will protect our citizens and our country and help others to avoid the devastation that results from losing a loved one.
