Wilson Statement on 9/11 Anniversary

September 11, 2015

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement on fourteenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:

"Today is a day for remembrance. We remember those nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered in the terror attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, and we remember those who lost their lives to defend democracy and our freedoms. September 11 is the Pearl Harbor of our century.

"The Global War on Terror is far from over. ISIL/DAESH continues to barbarically murder innocent people in their attempt to destroy our freedoms. We are grateful for our troops who continue to fight the enemy overseas to end the threat of terrorism and protect American families.

"God bless our troops and God bless America. We will never forget September 11 in the Global War on Terrorism."
