Wilson: We Will Never Forget September 11th

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) today issued the following statement upon passage of H.Res. 994, a resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks launched against the United States on September 11, 2001. The resolution passed by a vote of 395-22-1.

“On September 11, 2001, we were brought face to face with an elusive and dangerous enemy. As the world watched, America responded to these heinous attacks with a united front. We could no longer pretend that our oceans protected us from evil. We were determined to find the terrorists and bring them to justice. We would leave no rock unturned.

“While the face of America was strong, the hearts of Americans were heavy. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives that fateful day. The families of those who lost loved ones continue to grieve, and America grieves with them.

“Five years later, we must maintain our resolve to defeat extremism worldwide and protect American families here at home.”
