Today, on the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) attended the annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony and Memorial Stair Climb in Evans, Georgia. Following the event, Congressman Allen issued the statement below:
"On this day 25 years ago, evil breached our shores and our nation would be forever changed. Thousands of Americans said goodbye to their loved ones not knowing it would be their last. Today, we remember the lives of those who died on September 11, 2001 from terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Virginia, on United Airlines Flight 93 which crashed in rural Pennsylvania, and the first responders who charged toward the chaos as others fled to safety.
"I was honored to join the community in Columbia County this morning to remember those we lost on that heart-wrenching day which is forever etched in history. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and all of those impacted on September 11, 2001."
