MEUSER RELEASES STATEMENT ON ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 TERRORIST ATTACKS
POTTSVILLE, Pa. – Today, Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) released the following statement to commemorate the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. He joined President Trump this morning at the Flight 93 National Memorial to honor and remember the nearly 3000 lives lost.
"Nineteen years ago, America was attacked by terrorists who hoped to destroy our way of life. Ordinary citizens rose to the challenge, exhibiting countless acts of bravery to help others in New York City, Arlington, VA and Shanksville, PA. At the Flight 93 National Memorial, we remembered the heroes who sacrificed their own lives to save their fellow citizens. We will never forget their memory. In the days and years following 9/11, we all praised our police and firefighters, thanking them for their service and for putting their lives on the line. Many Americans wore NYPD and NYFD hats to show their support. We are not a perfect country, but we are still the greatest country on earth and it's up to the citizens to keep it. Let's pray that the motto of 9/11, ‘never forget' reminds us that we all are in fact Americans first."
