DENVER— Today, Speaker of the House Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, released the following statement concerning the 10 year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks:
“This weekend, we remember those we lost ten years ago on Sept. 11 and those we lost serving in the defense of our nation since that horrific day. We also take time to thank and honor the new generation of heroes who rose immediately after the attacks on that day and serve our country today.
“On Sept. 11 we saw first responders and civilians rush to the World Trade Center and Pentagon to help those in need. We saw the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 sacrifice their own lives to protect the lives of their fellow Americans. And we have since seen scores of young people sign-up to serve in the armed forces. These men and women have fought valiantly in the War on Terror and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“We will never forget that horrific day, and we can never forget those who are fighting to keep our country safe from future attacks.”
