CONGRESSMAN DAVIS REMEMBERS 9/11, CALLS FOR RENEWED COMMITMENT TO UNITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND PROGRESS

CHICAGO, IL - Today marks the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a day that forever changed America. We mourn the lives lost, honor the bravery of first responders, and recommit ourselves to the ideals that define our nation.

On that morning 24 years ago, nearly 3,000 lives were stolen. Thousands more were forever altered. Families, communities, the entire nation felt the pain, the fear, the uncertainty. But from that tragedy also came clarity about who we are, and who we should be.

We cannot allow the memory of 9/11 to become hollow. It must push us to be better: more united, more compassionate, more just. As your Congressman, I pledge to fight for legislation that reflects those values and ensures we do not forget, because forgetting weakens us.
