     COMMEMORATING THE 18TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of those who 
lost their lives on 9/11/2001.
  Eighteen years ago, the lives of innocent men, women, and children 
were senselessly taken at the hands of Islamic terrorists under the 
command of Osama bin Laden. Before day's end, nearly 3,000 civilians, 
firefighters, law enforcement officers, and servicemembers would perish 
in the World Trade Center, on United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, and in 
the Pentagon.
  Though another year has passed, the pain remains for the families who 
lost a loved one that fateful day. I pray for all of those people who 
have lost someone today and pray for them tomorrow, and I pray for 
those in harm's way who continue to serve across the globe to ensure 
that we can live safely in the greatest country in the world: the 
United States of America.
  Never forget, and may God bless America.
  In God we trust.
