Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) released the following statement in remembrance of 9-11:

“Today we remember all those who lost their lives during the sinister attacks on September 11, 2001. On that day, many courageous Americans ran toward grave danger to help those in harm's way.

“We humbly thank these heroes - our police officers, firefighters and first responders - who selflessly came to our aid in a time of deep crisis. We also honor our brave men and women in uniform, and their families, who sacrificed so much to defend our nation in the years ahead from terrorist threats around the world. We can look to their example, to find the strength, to face tough challenges that lie ahead.

“While Congress has worked to better secure our nation from future attacks, Washington is still struggling to implement some of the 9-11 Commission’s common-sense proposals to secure our nation’s borders to protect against terrorists, and others that mean to do us harm.

“Most importantly, we must be vigilant in our efforts to ensure that the liberty and freedoms granted by God, and guaranteed through our Constitution, remain intact. And, if we truly honor the sacrifices of these Americans, we will stand together and NEVER give them up.”
