                      THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, this Sunday marks 
the 15th anniversary of 9/11, a day when we suffered from the savagery 
of mankind at its worst and witnessed the courage of humanity at its 
best.
  In our collective sorrow, I have never seen this body so united and 
determined to protect our people, to protect America. We found strength 
from one another. I am proud of the way my city, my country, and my 
colleagues responded.
  I am grateful for the privilege of working with our first responders, 
survivors, and families, and my colleagues from both sides of the aisle 
to pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization 
Act, so that anyone suffering from the wounds of 9/11 will never have 
to worry about the health care and assistance they deserve.
  It is in this way we remember and honor those who carry the wounds of 
that very dark day and who deserve the thanks of a grateful nation. It 
is in this way that we show we will never forget.
