Thank you Congresswoman Maloney I rise today in honor of nearly 3000 Americans who were killed in the September eleventh terrorist attacks on our homeland 18 years ago today vile acts of terror were committed in New York Virginia and Pennsylvania in the moments following these tragedies as thousands People streamed out of the towers for safety Thousands of first responders ran into harm's way to save lives California These first responders came from all the cross the state of New York, including my district The nineteenth Congressional District today is a solemn day of quiet remembrance We bow our heads as a nation in a moment of We cannot carry the weight of these memories of loved ones alone The pain is too hard for one family to bear alone for one city to bear alone for one state to bear alone Today I joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and from every corner of the country to never forget to never forget the lives we've lost will never forget the sacrifices made of our men and women in uniform and know that we will stand with you and your families in the years ahead maybe also never forget the National unity. We all felt in the days weeks and months 911 were all that mattered was putting country first God bless America
