Statement from Congressman Dan Goldman on the Anniversary of the September 11 Terror Attacks

New York, NY – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today issued the following statement to mark the 22nd anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.

“Twenty-two years ago today, we experienced the worst terrorist attacks on American soil in our nation’s history and lost nearly 3,000 of our friends, loved ones, and fellow Americans.

“Living in downtown Manhattan on September 11th, I will never forget watching the second plane hit the Towers and the soot-covered people walking up Hudson Street. And 22 years later, we must never forget the tremendous sacrifice of our brave first responders, the strength of our survivors, and the tremendous scale of evil that came to our shores on that day. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude and appreciation to those who risked everything in the immediate aftermath of the attacks and in the months and years that followed.

“I am incredibly proud to represent the resilient Lower Manhattan community that has kept the memory of our loved ones alive. Our community is home to countless heroes who have cared for, rebuilt, and transformed our city in the aftermath of the attacks. 

“Today, we take a moment to remember that awful day and mourn those we lost. But in that reflection, we also take time to recognize our resiliency and the mandate we have to ensure that evil never triumphs over the American spirit. 

“We are New York Strong, and we will Never Forget.”
