Underscores the importance of Homeland Security efforts to keep the nation safe
Washington, DC – Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) today released this statement recognizing the eighth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks:
“Eight years ago, our nation woke up to a morning of cascading terrorism and tragedy. Americans innocently lost their lives. America watched in fear and uncertainty. Every morning since, we’ve been resilient in our recovery. Our security is strengthened and we can’t take that for granted nor forget the reasons why.
“As we honor those 9/11 victims and their families, we should commend our fellow Americans who’ve helped us prevail against those remaining threats. By protecting the homeland they’ve thwarted acts of terrorism. They’ve ensured our stability and returned our sense of security. They make decisions everyday that collectively shore up our safety. Today, I pause for those heroic men and women of 9/11, and I also pay tribute to our everyday heroes. They’ve kept us safe ever since.”
