Blog: Remembering 9/11 in Pittsburg and Martinez

Statement

Thank you to the first responders, the veterans and everyone in our community who came together this weekend as we commemorated the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It was a day we must never forget.

Ten years ago, we came together despite our differences to face a great challenge. Our spirit, which the terrorists sought to crush along with our buildings, was strengthened through adversity. America is always at its best when we work together to solve problems.
