Honoring the Americans Whose Lives Ended on Sept. 11, 2001
Sen. Chuck Grassley made the following statement on the 15th anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America.
“On this anniversary, we remember the Americans whose lives ended in terror by forces that sought to attack not only our people, but also our identity as a nation. Those who attacked us that day meant to strike fear into our hearts, but America proved that we would not give up on the values and the ideals that distinguish us as a people.
“From the first responders who charged toward danger to the men and women in uniform who served their country in the aftermath of the attacks, we offer our gratitude and continue our commitment to upholding our promise to care for those who keep us safe. And we’ll continue to fight terrorism.
“We should remain as determined as we were 15 years ago to never forget.”
