Wittman Statement on 12th Anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks

Representative Rob Wittman (VA-1) released the following statement observing the twelfth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:

"Walking by the U.S. Capitol building this morning, my thoughts immediately turned to the attack on freedom twelve years ago on that fateful day. The dome of the building stands tall not only as a symbol of freedom, but also a reminder of those who have worked to protect her and our citizens from attack. Freedom again came under attack one year ago today in Benghazi, Libya. The ideals of American life unfortunately face challenges every day, and yet brave men and women continue to selflessly serve our nation as first responders and in our armed services. We will never forget those lost on this tragic day and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to uphold the banner of our nation since then. We keep in our hearts the families of the victims and those who have served and continue to serve. May God continue to bless America."

Congressman Rob Wittman represents the First District of Virginia. He serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and the House Armed Services Committee where he is the Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee.
