Rep. Zeldin Statement on the 18th Anniversary of 9/11

Statement

Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) issued the following statement on the 18th anniversary of September 11, 2001, after joining House colleagues on the steps of the Capitol this morning for a moment of silence and singing "God Bless America":

"We all remember exactly where we were that day, when ordinary Americans became extraordinary heroes. We vividly remember what we heard, what we saw and how we felt. We remember first responders running towards danger at the greatest possible risk to their own lives.

"It has been 18 years since that day, and while our memories of those moments have not faded, most importantly, neither has our resolve to rise stronger than ever before. Our commitment to remember, honor and exemplify those Americans, who in the face of unconscionable evil, were the best of who we are."

"While that commitment is no more pertinent than today, each and every day we must Never Forget the lives of the innocent Americans lost on that day, the sacrifices of our first responders and all those who have put their lives on the line in the fight against terror."
