WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following statement on the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks:
“Ten years ago today, Americans watched in horror as foreign terrorists launched a brutal surprise attack on our own soil,” said Chairman Priebus. “Scared and stunned, we attempted to make sense of it all, but in the aftermath we stood together to affirm the values for which we were attacked.
“Today, we remember those tragically lost on September 11, 2001. We remember the selfless first responders who served courageously. We remember our military men and women who have died defending our freedom. And we remember that at our core, we are a country united by an unshakeable love of liberty.
“The struggle against extremism goes on, and al-Qaeda continues to plot against the United States. On this most somber of anniversaries, let us rededicate ourselves to the defense of our common values. Let us honor those that died by standing united, today and every day, in our continued determination for a brighter, more secure America.”
“We must never forget those that we lost on 9/11,” said Co-Chairman Day. “We must keep their memory alive, especially for future generations. As the World Trade Center is rebuilt in New York, the new tower will serve as a visible reminder that the American spirit can never be destroyed.”
