September 11, 2006

“America will never forget the treacherous and heinous attacks of September 11, 2001. We will never forget the blood that was shed. We will never forget the lives lost. And we will never forget the unfathomable pain inflicted on families forever changed by a loss of a family member or loved one.

“But we will also never forget how our nation responded on that fateful day. There was incredible courage, patriotism, charity and resilience exhibited by every first responder, law enforcement officer, and every citizen across this great nation. The true greatness of our nation’s character and spirit was on display on that day and thereafter.

5/31/06: Statement of Senator Dodd on DHS funding for Connecticut

May 31, 2006
“The Bush Administration continues to ‘nickel and dime’ our nation’s security needs. Law enforcement officials in Connecticut are working night and day to keep our state safe. They deserve our thanks and respect. They don’t deserve funding cuts that shortchange their critically important efforts to protect our citizens. I intend to continue to fight to ensure that more resources are provided to people on the front lines of our state and nation’s security.”
