Senator Chuck Grassley released the following statement on the 13th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
“The anniversary of September 11, 2001, evokes strong memories. We reflect on the American spirit that was brightly shining in the aftermath of tragedy. The anniversary is a time to honor the selfless acts by so many as they rushed toward the scenes of chaos, and it’s a time to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in a senseless act of terrorism. It’s an annual reminder of the dangers our country faces in rooting out terrorism.
“We learned a lot about our country that day -- nothing can shake the American people’s commitment to freedom and liberty. We will never forget.”
