Statement

U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa (HI-01), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on the 12th anniversary of the September 11th attacks:

"As we pause to remember the devastating events that shook our nation twelve years ago today, I will recall the tremendous bravery and commitment of the men and women who faced the challenge and fought to save those in danger. We must continue to honor those extraordinary Americans we lost in the attacks and in war, including those with ties to our beloved Hawaii, and forever keep them and their families in our hearts. We will carry this lesson with us always: This is a day of heroes. Whether they serve on foreign soil or on the next street, America's finest still sacrifice to protect our homes, communities, and nation. We thank you again, and we pledge that we will never forget."
