                            REMEMBERING 9/11

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Montana (Mr. Gianforte) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GIANFORTE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the nearly 
3,000 people who were killed on this day in 2001. At dawn, September 
11, 2001, was a morning like every other, that is until everything 
changed. Terrorists, who were intent on destroying our country and our 
way of life attacked.
  But through this tragedy we saw our country unite. We saw unmatched 
courage and bravery from our first responders, servicemembers, and 
everyday citizens. Now, 18 years later, we find ourselves with a new 
generation that did not experience the horrors of that day. They only 
know a post-9/11 world. That makes it all the more important that we 
teach them what happened that day, honor the victims, and discuss the 
impact those terrorist attacks have had on our world.
  But today, we remember. Today, we pray. Today, we honor Americans of 
every background who, in the aftermath of that fateful day, united 
under our flag, bound together by a sense of unflappable courage, duty, 
and patriotism.
