Smith Issues Statement Commemorating September 11, 2001

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) today released the following statement with regards to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:

"Today we commemorate a dark event which changed our nation forever. The attacks on New York and the Pentagon - and the courage of the passengers of Flight 93 - still strike a chord for Americans and the world.

On that day we learned first hand of the evil in the world, the lengths some will go to destroy freedom, and the ruthlessness of our enemies to use innocent civilians in their efforts to destroy our way of life.

Today is not about politics or partisanship. Instead, we should turn our thoughts to the lives lost that terrible day, and those risking their own lives to preserve our freedom," Smith said.
