John,


Twenty-three years ago on September 11, 2001, the world witnessed the
deadliest terrorist attack against the United States in our nation’s history
that cut short thousands of precious lives. We are eternally grateful for the
courageous first responders, service members, and citizens that came together
in support of one another as the towers fell. There were no strangers on Ground
Zero, only patriots helping their fellow countrymen and women. Through the
rubble and amidst the dust and destruction of that day, our nation vowed to not
allow it to fade from our memories. As we solemnly mark the 23rd anniversary of
September 11th and honor the lives lost on that horrific day, we carry out our
promise to never forget.


The four hijacked planes that flew into the World Trade Center in New York
City, the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and a field in Shanksville,
Pennsylvania, took the lives of nearly 3000 innocent people. An immense sense
of loss still permeates throughout our country, especially in my home state of
New York. After the initial impact on the World Trade Center's North Tower,
heroic New York City first responders and heroic citizens rushed towards the
crumbling skyscraper resulting in hundreds selflessly losing their lives trying
to save their fellow Americans.


In order to preserve their memory, I have worked tirelessly with my colleagues
to guarantee that the 9/11 World Trade Center Health Program receives
sufficient funding to ensure comprehensive care for every first responder and
survivor of that fateful day. I’ve also made it a priority to make sure the
terrorists responsible for these horrid attacks are held responsible by
cosponsoring the Justice for 9/11 Act to prevent the Biden-Harris
Administration from offering plea deals to the September 11th terrorists Khalid
Shaikh Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed
Adam al Hawsawi.


Many brave Americans accepted the call for duty in the aftermath of September
11th and enlisted in our military to ensure such evil never reaches American
soil again. As the Representative of New York’s 21st Congressional District, I
am honored to represent Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division, the most
deployed division in the United States Army since the September 11th attacks.
Over the past 20 years, these courageous soldiers have continuously deployed to
the Middle East to defend our national security and safeguard the cherished
values that those terrorists sought to destroy.


New York’s 21st District also embraces a substantial number of law enforcement
officers and first responders who have chosen to make Upstate New York and the
North Country their home. Given the valiant service of our military personnel
and first responders, spanning over two decades since the September 11th
attacks, we must remain committed to serving them and honoring their sacrifices
within our community.


The events of September 11th fortified the American spirit of New Yorkers and
Americans across our country as we watched our freedom and values threatened.
Together, we will always fight to ensure justice for the victims of September
11th and honor their memories. As we reflect on their legacy, let us honor the
fallen by continuing to stand firm in our principles and support those who
defend them. May we never forget the lessons learned from that day and may we
always cherish the enduring spirit of resilience that defines us as a nation.
