Sweeney 9-11 Statement

TRENTON – Senate President Steve Sweeney issued the following statement today marking the nineteenth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks:

“Today marks the nineteenth anniversary of one of the most tragic and traumatic days in our history. The wounds may never be fully healed for the families, coworkers and friends of those whose lives were lost, but they will be forever remembered for their courage and sacrifice in the face of fatal danger. 

“The firefighters, police officers, first responders, military members and civilians who gave their lives became an inspiration to us all. They serve as a constant reminder of the resilience of our country, our fortitude as Americans and our strength when we are unified.

“Our response to 9-11 was an example of what is great about America and our limitless potential when we are united. In this time of immense uncertainty and turmoil, I would hope that we regain this sense of purpose and unity. Our nation has always been at its best when we stand together, as we did in the wake of the 9-11 attacks.”
