Wilson Remembers Fifth Anniversary of 9/11

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today released the following statement remembering the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States:

“Five years ago, we experienced a tragedy unparalleled in our nation’s history. We were suddenly made aware of our vulnerability to a new and dangerous enemy. Without warning, our way of life and the freedoms we cherish were under attack.

“Charity poured from the hearts of every American and from allies around the world. Fire fighters and law enforcement personnel heroically put their lives at risk to save their countrymen. Democrats and Republicans alike stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building and sang ’God Bless America.’ We were united in the resolve to defeat those who terrorized us.

“We remember today - as we do everyday - the families of those who lost loved ones and our men and women in uniform who are bravely fighting to protect us. May God bless them.”
